§ Dr. Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish (a) gross and (b) net capital expenditure by each local authority on housing and (c) current expenditure on repairs and maintenance to existing housing stock in each year from 1981–82 to 1984–85, estimate.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinEnglish local authorities' gross capital expenditure on housing and prescribed proportion of housing capital receipts appear for 1981–82 and 1982–83544W in tables attached to my Department's press notices No. 273 (27 July 1982) and No. 290 (18 July 1983), respectively, and for 1983–84 in the table referred to in the answer given by my hon. Friend the Minister for Housing and Construction to my hon. Friend the Member for Mid-Staffordshire (Mr. Heddle) on 20 July 1984, at column 360. The 1981–82 and 1982–83 editions of "Housing Revenue Account Statistics Actuals", published by CIPFA, show the authorities' expenditure on repair and maintenance. All these sources are available in the Library.
I have today placed in the Library a table showing authorities' capital expenditure and receipts in the first nine months of 1984–85 and another showing their reported expenditure on repair and maintenance in 1983–84 and estimates for 1984–85.
