HC Deb 19 October 1988 vol 138 cc943-4W
Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list those local authorities whose housing investment programme in 1988–89 is less than 20 per cent, of its housing investment programme in 1979–80, in real terms.

Mr. Trippier

A comparison of gross capital expenditure on housing in 1979–80 with authorities' estimates for 1988–89 identifies no authorities whose 1988–89 expenditure was, in real terms, less than 20 per cent, of its 1979–80 expenditure. We have not yet received returns of estimated 1988–89 expenditure from 14 authorities.
