HC Deb 23 October 1986 vol 102 c935W
Dr. Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the housing subsidy paid to each London borough, metropolitan district and non-metropolitan district in each of the years from 1978–79 to 1986–87, expressed in constant 1986–87 prices.

Mr. Ridley

I shall answer this question shortly.

Dr. Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the housing investment programme allocations made to each London borough, metropolitan district and non-metropolitan district in each of the years from 1978–79 to 1986–87, expressed in constant 1986–87 prices.

Mr. Ridley

Lists of the housing investment programme allocations for all housing authorities in England are placed in the House of Commons Library each year. A list of these allocations for the years 1978–79 to 1986–87, adjusted to 1986–87 prices, will be placed in the Library as soon as possible. It should of course be noted that the level of allocations to authorities does not correspond to the level of housing capital expenditure by those authorities in those years, because of the growth of expenditure financed by other means, principally from capital receipts.
