HC Deb 13 July 1982 vol 27 cc331-2W
Mr. Squire

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what percentage of capital expenditure local authorities are allowed to carry over from one year to the next in the event of over or underspending.

Mr. King

In any one year an authority may spend up to 10 per cent. in excess of its capital expenditure allocation either through carrying over underspend from the previous year or through anticipating from the following year's allocation, or both.
