HC Deb 27 January 1993 vol 217 cc773-7W
Mr. Milburn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what housing improvement programme bid was made by Darlington borough council, and what was the actual allocation given for each year since 1983.

Mr. Baldry

Information on the housing investment programme is given in the table. The figures for 1990–91 and subsequent years are not directly comparable with those for earlier years because of the revisions to the capital finance system introduced in April 1990.

1 Allocations for 1989–90 and earlier years are final allocations, i.e., the initial allocation plus any increases to the initial allocation made in-year. The allocations figures for 1990–91 and subsequent years are the HIP allocations (housing annual capital guidelines plus specified capital grants) issued prior to the start of the financial year. These figures do not include any supplementary credit approvals issued during the year.
2 From 1990–91, under the new capital finance system, the HIP allocation is an assessment of relative need for housing capital expenditure rather than a directly borrowing approval. Borrowing approval is now conveyed by the single, all service, basic credit approval.
