Mr. Spearing

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will state the difference between the standard spending assessments relating to capital charges allotted to local authorities and the amount which they needed to disburse on such expenditure for the year 1991–92, where that difference exceeded £1 million, together with the name of the local authority and the excess amount so paid.

Mr. Key

[holding answer 17 February 1992]: The capital financing element of the 1991–92 SSAs totalled £2,950.7 million. The latest information available to my Department indicates that local authorities have budgeted to spend £2,973.3 million on capital financing in 1991–92.

The table shows the capital financing SSA element, the equivalent budgeted net revenue expenditure on capital financing, and the difference between these two amounts in 1991–92 for those local authorities where the difference exceeds £1 million.
