HC Deb 14 February 1983 vol 37 cc72-3W
Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied with the level of local authority house building in the city of Liverpool: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stanley

It is for Liverpool city council to decide on the scale of its new-build programme within its single capital block and the prescribed proportion of its capital receipts. I am satisfied that the total resources available to the council should enable it to increase its housing capital expenditure in 1983–84 above the likely outturn in this financial year.
