§ Mr. TrippierA comparison of gross capital expenditure on housing in 1979–80 with authorities' estimates for 1988–89 identifies no authorities whose 1988–89 expenditure was, in real terms, less than 20 per cent, of its 1979–80 expenditure. We have not yet received returns of estimated 1988–89 expenditure from 14 authorities.
