§ Dr. Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish (a) gross and (b) net capital expenditure by each local authority in England in each year from 1981–82 to 1984–85 (estimates), showing the total for each class of authority.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinFigures for capital payments and receipts by local authorities in England in 1981–82 to 1983–84 are published in the CIPFA publications "Capital Expenditure and Debt Financing Statistics" for those years. Copies of these are held in the Library. Estimates of 1984–85 expenditure by individual authorities or by class of authority are not available. The latest forecast for total net local authority capital expenditure in England against the DOE-LA1 cash limit in the current year is £3.2 billion.
