§ Mr. Douglas-Mann

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) what revaluation factors were used to convert the housing programme totals in table 2.7 of Cmnd. 7841 "The Government's Expenditure Plans 1980–81 to 1983–84", which were expressed at 1979 survey prices into the housing programmes for England, Scotland and Wales as shown in tables 2.7, 2.15 and 2.16 of Cmnd. 8175 "The Government's Expenditure Plans 1981–82 to 1983–84", which were expressed at 1980 survey prices;

(2) whether he will break down the contents of table 2.7 in Cmnd. 7841 "The Government's Expenditure Plans 1980–81 to 1983–84", between England, Scotland and Wales on the same basis that these figures are shown in tables 2.7, 2.15 and 2.16 in Cmnd. 8175 "The Government's Expenditure Plans 1981–82 to 1983–84";

(3) whether he will explain the difference between the 56 per cent. fall in the total of housing programme expenditure for England, Scotland and Wales between 1975–76 and 1983–84 as shown in Cmnd. 7841 "The Government's Expenditure Plans 1980–81 to 1983–84", and the 61 per cent. fall over the same period now indicated for these programmes in Cmnd. 8175 "The Government's Expenditure Plans 1981–82 to 1983–84".
