HC Deb 24 November 1986 vol 106 cc40-1W
Mr. Lofthouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will set out the national notional housing revenue account for the current financial year and the estimates made in respect of the next financial year, and list the assumptions contained therein.

Mr. Tracey

The following tables are summaries of the housing revenue accounts of local authorities in England for 1985–86 and 1986–87. These summaries are based directly on provisional outturn figures for 1985–86 and estimates for 1986–87 submitted by local authorities to the Department, adjusted to allow for a small number of missing authorities. Similar information is not available at this stage for 1987–88.
