HC Deb 26 July 1984 vol 64 c802W
Mr. Pike

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list in the Official Report the average annual rate fund contribution per local authority dwelling in each housing authority area in each year since 1979–80.

Mr. Park

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give the average annual rate fund contribution per local authority dwelling in each local authority district in England from 1979–80 to 1984–85.

Sir George Young

I have arranged for the information in respect of the years 1979–80 to 1983–84 to be placed in the Library. The information is based on the latest available data provided by local authorities in their subsidy claim forms. Data will not be available from authorities in respect of 1984–85 until the autumn.

Mr. Pike

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish in the Official Report the average annual amount of housing support grant paid per dwelling in each housing authority area in England from 1979–80 to 1983–84; and what is the estimated figure on the same basis for 1984–85.

Mr. Park

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will show the average amount of housing support grant paid per dwelling in each local authority in England from 1979–80 to 1984–85.

Sir George Young

I have arranged for the information to be placed in the Library. The information is based on the latest accessible data provided by local authorities in their subsidy claim forms. The main housing subsidy system has changed during the period, so comparisons between years are of limited value.
