§ Mr. Giles ShawThe available information is given in the following table. The estimated outturn figures for 1976–77 to 1981–82 have been converted to cost terms using the same gross domestic product deflators as table 1.14 of Cmnd. 8789. Those for 1982–83, and the cash

§ Mr. Christopher Priceasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the original allocation of housing capital expenditure, any revised allocations, estimated capital spending and spending as a proportion of original and revised allocations for each local authority in England in 1981–82 and 1982–83.
§ Mr. StanleyThis information is included, for 1981–82, in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Reading, North (Mr. Durant) on 27 July 1982—[Vol. 28, c.460–476]— and, for the first nine months of 1982–83 in the table referred to in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Melton (Mr. Latham) on 18 March —[Vol. 39, c. 286]—a copy of which is in the Library.
268Wplans for 1983–84 use those given in paragraph 2.16 of the Financial Statement and Buget Report. They are therefore consistent with the figures excluding budget measures and other changes in the revised cost terms table given in a reply to a question from my hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham, Selly Oak (Mr. Beaumont-Dark) on 17 March—[Vol. 39, c. 240]—rather than with table 1.14 of Cmnd. 8789, which was based on earlier slightly different assumptions about the deflators for 1982–83 and 1983–84. The underlying cash figures are consistent with Cmnd. 8789.
I shall provide an equivalent table for the whole of 1982–83, including details of additional allocations, once outturn information is available from local authorities.
§ Mr. Christopher Priceasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the total expenditure on each service listed in table 2.18 of Cmnd. 8789-II by local authorities in England from 1973 to 1982–83.
§ Mr. Giles ShawThe available information is given in the following table.
The definition of local authority capital expenditure was modified following the Local Government Planning and Land Act 1980. It is not possible to take the definitions and classifications used in Cmnd. 8789 back before 1976–77.
