§ Sir George YoungLocal housing authorities debit expenditure to their housing revenue accounts in accordance with the Housing Finance Act 1972. The extent of housing management expenditure in respect of applications from homeless persons which can properly be debited is for individual authorities to decide in the light of the statutory requirements and their own professional judgment, subject to subsequent clearance by their auditors. My Department does not have information on the extent of such expenditure debited to HRAs. This can be obtained only from individual authorities. Exchequer housing subsidy is in any case not hypothecated to individual elements of expenditure on management.
