Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what figures have been used in the relevant public expenditure estimates for the utilisation of non-prescribed capital receipts by local authorities in their housing capital expenditure in the years 1987–88, 1988–89 and 1989–90 tabulated separately for district councils and metropolitan authorities, excluding London boroughs, inner London boroughs, and outer London boroughs.

The estimates of local authority non-prescribed capital expenditure used in public expenditure plans are made on a national basis and are not broken down by source of finance, by service, or by class of authority. The estimates of non-prescribed expenditure used in determining the total of capital allocations for England consistent with public expenditure plans for 1987–88, 1988–89, 1989–90 are given:

£ million
1987–88 430
1988–89 725
1989–90 850
