§ Mr. Simon Hughesasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the basis for his assumption about capital receipts for the Housing Corporation in 1984–85 which total £70 million.
§ Sir George YoungThe assumption of £70 million for Housing Corporation capital receipts in 1984–85 is the Department's best estimate at the present time, taking account of past outturn figures. It is similar to the provision of £60 million made this year.
