Housing Capital Expenditure

HC Deb 14 April 1981 vol 3 cc126-7W

Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will break down the figures for "expected volume from provision" and volume actually achievable from provision", Official Report, 26 February, column 438, between housing investment programme and other items.

Mr. Stanley

The information is as follows:

Provision for capital expenditure on housing by local authorities (England)
	Expected volume from provision	Volume actually achievable from provision
	Housing Investment Programmes	Other LA* housing capital	Housing Investment Programmes	Other LA* housing capital
	£m†	£m†	£m†	£m†
1977–78	4,009	44	4,052	44
1978–79	4,323	25	4,096	25
1979–80
original	4,227	35	3,837	35
revised	3,839	35	3,464	35
1980–81	2,567	25	2,445	25
1981–82	2,201	—	—	—
* Figures are the same in the two columns because most of this expenditure was not covered by cash limits and volume achievable from provision was thus unaffected by differences between forecast and actual inflation.
† At estimated 1981–82 outturn prices.
