§ Mr. Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what resources were allocated to the city of Leicester by the Government for housing purposes during each of the past 10 years; and how much the Government propose to allocate during the coming year.
§ Sir George YoungHIP allocations were introduced only from 1977–78. Allocations for each year since then are:
£ million 1977–78 19.923 1978–79 22.774 1979–80 20.524 1980–81 17.378 1981–82 17.038 1982–83 18.496 1983–84 17.075 HIP allocations for 1984–85 will be announced as soon as possible. Allocations before and after 1981–82 are not directly comparable because since 1981 local authorities have been able to increase allocations to take account of capital receipts.
