Housing Revenue Account

HC Deb 20 February 1992 vol 204 cc232-3W

Mr. Battle

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish a table describing the apportionment of housing revenue account subsidy between(a) rent rebate subsidy and (b) general housing subsidy on an outturn and estimated outturn basis for financial years 1990–91, 1991–92, 1992–93 and 1994–95, stating the assumptions employed to produce such figures; and if he will publish a table showing a similar apportionment, if the total cost of rent rebates was met by rent rebate subsidy.

Mr. Yeo

The information requested is shown in the table. The actual figures for 1993–94 and 1994–95 will depend on annual determinations of subsidy yet to be made. The table assumes that guideline rents and management and maintenance allowances for those years will be increased in line with inflation.
