HC Deb 27 July 1981 vol 9 c322W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the latest housing allocation bid made by Dundee district; and what percentage the final allocation represents of the bid.

Mr. Rifkind

Dundee district council's capital expenditure proposals for 1981–82 amounted to £8.534 million on the housing revenue account block and £3.090 million on the non-Housing Revenue Account block. It was offered a maximum capital allocation of £8.185 million—96 per cent. of its bid—on the HRA block but, because of its own decision as to the level of rate fund contribution for which it should budget, this had to be restricted, within the arrangements previously made known, to £4.900 million—57 per cent. of its bid. The allocation for the non-HRA block was £3.090 million—100 per cent. of its bid.
