HC Deb 03 February 1987 vol 109 cc617-8W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what has been the housing investment programme allocation for each district and borough council in East Sussex in each year since 1974, showing the annual percentage change in cash and real terms, using 1974 as the baseline;

(2) if he will show for each borough and district council in East Sussex expenditure in cash and real terms, respectively, for each year since 1974 on (a) new building, (b) modernisation, repairs and maintenance and (c) assistance to housing associations, trusts and cooperatives.

Mr. Tracey

Tables are being placed in the Library showing, for each authority in East Sussex, the housing investment programme allocations from 1978–79, the first year allocations were made, and the requested expenditure figures from 1974–75. Since 1981–82, authorities have been able to augment their HIP allocations by using the prescribed proportion of their capital receipts.
