§ Mr. PikeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list in theOfficial Report the housing investment programme allocations proposed to each local authority for 1989 indicating the respective bid and showing the allocation as a percentage of the hid, together with the appropriate figures for 1978–79 on a constant value basis.
§ Mr. TrippierThe information for 1989–90 and 1978–79 has been placed in the Library. Since 1981–82 local authorities have been able to supplement their allocations by expenditure financed from capital receipts. Nationally, two thirds of local authorities' spending power on housing in 1989–90 is expected to come from capital receipts.
