HC Deb 27 November 1989 vol 162 c87W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the housing investment programme allocation paid or payable to the London borough of Waltham Forest in 1979–80 and in each year since 1986–87 in (i) cash and (ii) real terms expressed in 1979–80 prices.

Mr. Chope

[holding answer 24 November 1989]: Allocations since 1981–82 are not directly comparable with earlier years because since that date authorities have been able to augment their allocations with a proportion of their capital receipts. Nevertheless, the information requested is as follows:

Urban regeneration (£ million)—expenditure at constant prices 1988–89
Enterprise Zones
Urban Development Corporations Urban Programme City Grant UDG/URG Derelict Land Grant Rates Relief Capital

1982–83 84 399 82 12 20
1983–84 121 391 10 87 13 20
1984–85 108 376 20 84 19 30
1985–86 100 344 28 84 26 70
1986–87 101 325 27 90 37 90
1987–88 143 319 29 84 n.a. n.a.
1988–89 234 284 34 77 n.a. n.a.
