§ Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much was originally allocated by Her Majesty's Government to each housing authority for improvement grants; and whether he will list the extra allocations to housing authorities of the £74.5 million allocated in the recent Budget Statement for this purpose.
§ Mr. StanleyThe normal HIP allocations to housing authorities for 1982–83, announced on 22 December, are a single block grant within which no sums are specified for any particular purpose such as improvement grants; whereas the amounts allocated following the Chancellor's statement are for home improvement grants only. Details of these further provisional allocations, to which I referred in my replies to my hon. Friends the Member for Melton (Mr. Latham) on 21 April and for Reading, North (Mr. Durant) on 6 May, have been placed in the Library.—[Vol. 22, c.249–256; Vol. 23, c. 117.]
