Mr. Simon Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what was the level of housing capital expenditure in the first, second and third quarters of 1983–84 by local authorities generally and by each local authority;

(2) what was the level of housing capital receipts in the first, second and third quarters of 1983–84 by local authorities generally and by each local authority.

Sir George Young

Gross capital expenditure on housing by local authorities in England in April to December 1983 is estimated to be some £1,930 million. Housing capital receipts generated over the same period are estimated at £1,340 million. I am today placing in the Library information for each local authority about their housing capital expenditure and the prescribed proportion of their housing capital receipts.
