HC Deb 04 March 1987 vol 111 c629W
20. Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much money Leicester city council received for its housing programme in 1979 and 1986.

Mr. John Patten

The housing investment programme allocations made to Leicester city council for 1979–80 and 1986–87 were £20,524 million and £13.2 million respectively. In 1986–87, unlike 1979–80, the council has also been able to make use of capital receipts to increase its capital expenditure.
