(ii) Further allocations for 1982–83 will be made to authorities for expenditure on housing improvement grants when outturn information is received. (iii) Authorities have been advised that additional allocations will be available to any authority whose expenditure on home improvement grants in 1983–84 exceeds its indicative figures and whose total housing expenditure exceeds its housing investment programme allocation. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has also announced that any enveloping scheme which is approved will also receive an additional capital allocation for the costs of works to be undertaken in 1983–84. ¶ In 1979–80 and 1980–81 borrowing approvals for other services were granted to county areas: distribution between authorities within the county was determined locally.
