HC Deb 27 January 1978 vol 942 c809W
Mr. Joseph Dean

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the per capita and global spending of the metropolitan districts in West Yorkshire on public sector housing, including mortgages.

Mr. Armstrong

Gross capital expenditure financed from the capital account on public sector housing, including mortgage lending, by the metropolitan districts in West Yorkshire for 1976–77 was as follows:

GROSS CAPITAL EXPENDITURE ON PUBLIC SECTOR HOUSING 1976–77
Total (£.'000) Per Capita of population (£)
Bradford 11,679 25
Calderdale 7,066 37
Kirklees 9,247 25
Leeds 23,114 31
Wakefield 13,584 44

Capital expenditure by individual authorities is known to vary considerably from year to year, due to the incidence of large capital projects. These figures are based on returns made by authorities prior to the finalisation of their accounts for the year, and may, therefore, differ from corresponding figures appearing in the authorities' own published accounts.
