HC Deb 05 March 1981 vol 1000 cc181-5W
Mr. Dewar

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish the total Scottish public expenditure on housing, undifferentiated between capital and current, for the years 1978–79, 1979–80, 1980–81 and 1981–82, all at comparable price levels.

Mr. Younger

The information requested is contained in table 4.1 of"The Government's Expenditure Plans 1980–81 to 1983–84", (Cmnd. 7841). For more up-to-date information the hon. Member must await the next public expenditure White Paper, to be published on Budget day.

Mr. Dewar

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish for Scotland and for Strathclyde region (a) the provisional and final capital allocations for 1981–82 to the Scottish Special Housing Association, new towns and the Housing Corporation in Scotland all at forecast outturn prices and (b) the final capital allocations for 1980–81 to the same bodies, also at forecast outturn prices for 1981–82.

Mr. Rifkind

Final capital allocations for 1981–82 have not yet been determined for any of these bodies.

For the new towns the other figures requested are:

£ million at 1981–82 forecast outturn prices
1980–81 Final Allocations 1981–82 Provisional Allocations
Scotland 42.1 36.0
Amount applicable to Strathclyde Region 22.2 20.6

For the other agencies, in relation to which there are difficulties about distinguishing the Strathclyde figures from the rest, the 1980–81 final allocations for Scotland are:

£ million at 1981–82 forecast outturn prices
Housing Corporation 71.1
SSHA 43.5

The most recent indications given to these bodies for 1981–82 are:

£ million
Housing Corporation 69*
SSHA 36.0†
* At forecast outturn prices.
† At November 1979 prices.

When the final allocations for all three bodies for 1981–82 have been determined, I shall write to the hon. Member.

Mr. Dewar

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish for each district and island council in Scotland at forecast outturn prices for 1981–82 (a) local authority housing capital allocation bids for 1980–81 and 1981–82 and (b) provisional housing capital allocations for 1980–81 and 1981–82.

Mr. Rifkind

The following tables give the information requested, with the exception of capital allocation"bids" for 1981–82. Considerable difficulties attach to the provision of information about"bids" for 1981–82 because information is not available from any consistent source and, in many cases, authorities' original estimates have been substantially revised. I shall write to the hon. Member on this point.
