§ Mr. Easthamasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will re-establish housing investment progammes on a five-year rolling programme instead of the current two-year cycle.
§ Mr. StanleyI refer the hon. Member to the answer that I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Reading, North (Mr. Durant) on Tuesday 7 December 1982.—[Vol. 33, c.456.]
§ Mr. Allen McKayasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list for each authority in England the housing investment programme allocation for 1979–80, 1980–81, 1981–82, 1982–83 and 1983–84.
§ Mr. StanleyThis information is available in the Library.
§ Mr. Durantasked the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Reading, North on 27 October, Official Report, c. 455, what additional housing investment programme allocations for 1982–83 he has so far approved; to which authorities those additional allocations have been given; and for what purposes.
§ Mr. StanleyUp to 7 December additional HIP allocations for 1982–83 totalling up to £109 million for 164 local authorities had been approved. The details are in the following table.
These figures exclude additional expenditure on home improvement grants. Authorities have been told that they are free to increase their expenditure on improvement grants this year without limit, and without the need to submit prior bids. The additional allocations for home improvement grants will be made retrospectively in the light of outturn.
Those cases where authorities have been given additional allocations up to a ceiling figure reflect uncertainty about whether those authorities will be able to spend the full amount for which they have bid in this financial year. Those authorities can be certain of receiving an additional allocation up to the ceiling figure if their outturn expenditure warrants it.
