§ Mr. YoungerThe 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. Dewarasked 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. Dewarasked 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. RifkindThe 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.
