§ Mr. William PowellTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the total outstanding housing revenue debt at 31 March 1991, the unredeemed reserved part of capital receipts at 31 March 1990 and 31 March 1991 and the total of housing revenue account 1990–91 in year receipts applied to debt redemption in that year.
§ Mr. YeoThe reserved part of capital receipts was £4.2 billion at 31 March 1990 and £5.1 billion at 31 March 1991. Information about the total outstanding housing revenue account debt at 31 March 1991 is not yet complete. It is not possible to say how much of the in-year receipts are applied to debt redemption because there is no need for authorities' accounts to relate debt redemption to particular receipts.
