HL Deb 10 November 1982 vol 436 c352WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What sums have been allocated by the Department of the Environment for grants under Schedule 12 to the Housing Act 1980 in each financial year, and what sum is proposed for 1983–84.

Lord Bellwin

This information is not available. Capital allocations to local authorities under the housing investment programme are made in a single block, which under the arrangements for the control of capital programmes notified in DOE circular 14/81, may be supplemented from capital receipts and aggregated with allocations for other service blocks. It is for local authorities to decide what proportion of the resources available to them shall be devoted to private sector grants.
