§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what is his estimate for each London borough of money available from capital receipts to finance a housing programme. [171]
§ Mr. RaynsfordLocal authorities already have usable capital receipts which are available for any capital purpose (including housing). The amounts of these receipts, for each London Authority, are set out in the table.
In addition, however, we will be consulting the Local Government Association, the Association of London Government and local authorities on the Government's Capital Receipts initiative. No decision about the basis on which resources are to be distributed to individual authorities will be made until that consultation process is complete.
