§ Mr. Chopeasked the Secretary of State for the Environment by how much it is estimated each English local authority's usable capital receipts in 1985–86 would increase if the prescribed portion of usable capital receipts from housing land were to remain at 100 per cent. rather than 30 per cent.
§ Sir George YoungThe information is not available at individual local authority level. Capital receipts from the sale of housing land are forecast at £100 million in 1985–86. At a prescribed proportion of 100 per cent. local authorities in total would therefore be able to supplement their basic housing investment programme allocations by £100 million rather than £30 million.
§ Mr. Chopeasked the Secretary of State for the Environment by how much it is estimated each English local authority's usable capital receipts in 1985–86 would increase if the prescribed portion of usable capital receipts for the sale of dwellings with shared ownership, improvement for sale and homesteading were to remain at 100 per cent.
§ Sir George YoungThe information is not available at individual local authority level. Capital receipts from the sale of local authority dwellings under build for sale, improvement for sale, homesteading and shared ownership initiatives are forecast at £27 million in 1985–86. At a prescribed proportion of 100 per cent., local authorities would therefore be able to supplement their basic housing investment programme allocations by £27 million rather than £8.1 million.
§ Mr. Chopeasked the Secretary of State for the Environment, in respect of each housing authority in England, what are the forecast capital receipts in 1985–86 giving rise to the published total of £1,595 million.
