§ Mr. Durantasked the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to the answer of the hon. Member for Reading, North on 8 December 1982, Official Report, c. 562 to 566, what are the total additional housing investment programme allocations for 1982–83 that have now been approved; to which local authorities; and for what purposes.
§ Mr. StanleyTotal additional housing investment programme allocations of up to £160 million have now been approved for 218 local authorities. This includes allocations of up to £51.6 million to 74 authorities since my answer to my hon. Friend on 8 December 1982.
As in my earlier answer, these figures exclude additional expenditure on home improvement grants. Authorities have been told that they are free to increase their expenditure on improvement grants this year without limit, and without the need to submit prior bids. Additional allocations for home improvement grants will be made retrospectively in the light of outturn.
Those cases where authorities have been given additional allocations up to a ceiling figure reflect uncertainty about whether those authorities will in fact, be able to spend the full amount for which they have bid in the remainder of this financial year. This is especially the case where authorities have bid for a second additional allocation. Those authorities can, however, be certain of receiving an additional allocation up to the ceiling figure if their outturn expenditure warrants it.
The details of the authority-by-authority allocations are set out in the table attached.
