HC Deb 14 December 1992 vol 216 cc58-9W
Mr. Milburn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will provide a table showing capital spending on housing by region for each year since 1981(a) at current prices and (b) at 1981 prices.

Sir George Young

[holding answer 30 November 1992]: The available data on regional gross capital expenditure on housing by local authorities, which relate to financial years, are given in the tables. Corresponding figures for 1981–82 could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

2 The regional figures do not sum to the overall England totals which include some expenditure (eg the housing element of the Urban Programme, leasing) for which regional estimates are not available and because the England totals have been reconciled with other sources of data.

Mr. Milburn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will provide a table showing housing turnover by region in each year since 1987.

Mr. Baldry

[holding answer 9 December 1992]: The available information is tabulated in table 14.2 of the MHSO publication Inland Revenue Statistics which is held in the Library. The years 1988–1991 are covered in the 1992 edition, and the year 1987 in the 1991 edition.
