Mr. McGrady

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what the budgetary allocation to the Northern Ireland Housing Executive will be in 1992–93 financial year; what it was in the previous five years; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Needham

The allocations of public expenditure resources to the Northern Ireland Housing Executive in 1992–93 and the five previous financial years are shown in the table:

Year £ million
1987–88 332
1988–89 298
1989–90 222
1990–91 215
1991–92 225
1992–93 216

The figures from 1987–88 to 1989–90 are affected by the write-off of some of the executive's loans and by other technical reductions in the loan charges payable by the executive. When loan charges are excluded and account is taken of the executive's capital receipts and rental income, the executive has had the following sums available:

Year £ million
1987–88 310
1988–89 308
1989–90 306
1990–91 298
1991–92 1293
1992–93 1296
