Local Authorities (Capital Expenditure)

HC Deb 25 April 1983 vol 41 cc238-41W

Mr. Christopher Price

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) if he will give details of the kinds of capital expenditure on education undertaken by local authorities in England in 1981–82 and 1982–83, describing the size and costs of broad categories of such spending;

(2) if he will publish the original allocation of capital expenditure for education purposes and the estimated outturn for each education authority in England in 1981–82 and 1982–83.

Sir Keith Joseph

The information requested is set out in the following two tables. The local education authorities' outturn of expenditure for 1982–83 will not be available until the end of 1983. The forecast of net outturn for education (all sectors) capital expenditure in England in 1982–83 given in my reply of 7 February to the hon. Member—[Vol. 36, c.250]—has been revised from £317 million to £318 million but this takes little account of the expenditure consequences of the additional allocations so far approved.

(ii) The negative outturn expenditure figures reflect the disproportionate application of capital receipts (income).
