London Housing Authorities

HC Deb 25 October 1984 vol 65 cc702-3W

Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give, at 1984–85 prices, the total capital resources available to London housing authorities from initial housing investment programme allocation and the prescribed proportion of housing capital receipts accruing in each year, for each of the years 1979–80 to 1983–84, inclusive; and if he will estimate the resources likely to be available in 1984–85.

Sir George Young

The figures requested, at 1984–85 prices, are as follows:

	Initial housing investment programme allocation	Prescribed proportion of housing receipts	Total
	£ million	£ million	£ million
1979–80	1,361.9	—	1,361.9

1981–82	646.6	159.2	805.8
1982–83	616.5	224.7	841.2
1983–84	562.3	n/a	n/a
1984–85	544.7	n/a	n/a

Additional allocations were made as follows (at 1984–85 prices):

	£ million
1981–82	3.5

Details of capital receipts for 1983–84 are still awaited from some authorities. We make no estimate of receipts for London for the current financial year. Further retrospective allocations for 1983–84 may be made to some authorities subject to outturn.
