Mr. Hugh D. Brown

The system of capital allocations to housing authorities in these years applied only to council house modernisation, environmental improvements and capitalised repairs, and lending for house purchase and improvement, and consequently they are not comparable with the allocations for 1978–79, which cover new building also. Allocations were as in the following table. In the case of council house modernisation, and so on the allocation was on a "start" basis, that is the total estimated cost of each scheme regardless of when the expenditure was incurred was set against the allocation.
