§ Mr. Tony Banksasked the Secretary of State for the Environment which authority received the highest housing investment programme allocation in England for 1985–86; and what was the amount of the allocation.
§ Sir George Young[pursuant to his answer, 27 March 1986, c. 624]: The Greater London council received a housing investment programme allocation of £74.128 million for 1985–86, a substantial proportion of which related to that council's responsibilities to renovate and repair housing stock which it had already transferred to the boroughs. For 1986–87 the amount that would otherwise have gone to the GLC was included in the total available for distribution to the London boroughs.
