HC Deb 26 January 1982 vol 16 cc340-2W
Mr. Dewar

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in the Official Report a table showing for each authority the 1981–82 housing revenue account capital allocations both before and after the recent announcement of additional allocations linked to council house sales.

Mr. Rifkind

The following table gives the totals originally allocated to local authorities—column 1—and the totals after the additional allocations of last October and November—column 2. The additional allocations were largely made possible as the hon. Member implies by the buoyancy of receipts from sales of council houses.
