HC Deb 16 January 1987 vol 108 c330W
Mr. Hancock

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has allowed any local authority, on application, a relaxation of the right to spend limits on the use of capital receipts; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Chope

My right hon. Friend has no powers to do so.

Mr. Hancock

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if any local authorities have used all of their capital receipts received from the sale of a particular asset to pay off immediately the debt charges on that particular asset.

Mr. Chope

Information on this is not collected centrally.
