The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how much funding has been allocated from the Brownfield Infrastructure and Land fund to (a) Huntingdonshire District Council and (b) Cambridgeshire since the establishment of that programme.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

No funding has been allocated to Huntingdonshire District Council from the Brownfield, Infrastructure and Land (BIL) programme.

In Cambridgeshire, one BIL project is now in contract, for a £23.35m grant (alongside funding from the Cambridge City Deal) to support the relocation of the Waterbeach Village railway station which is a condition of the planning for the 4,500 home Waterbeach East New Town.
