§ Mr. Lofthouseasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish for England the directly equivalent information on the Government's expenditure plans for housing to that which is set out in table 4.1 Cmnd. 8789-II.
§ Mr. StanleyThe public expenditure plans for housing in England in 1984–85 and 19857–86 are shown in total at this stage because they are provisional figures based on illustrative assumptions. No decisions have yet been taken about the detailed allocation of the provision or the assumed increase in local contribution, and it would therefore be misleading to provide any further breakdown now.
§ Mr. Lofthouseasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish for England, with all assumptions made explicit, the national notional housing revenue account for the financial year 1983–84 from which the figure for central Government subsidies to local authorities housing in table 2.7 of Cmnd. 8789-II has been derived.
§ Mr. StanleyI shall answer this question shortly.
