§ Sir Rhodes BoysonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the total amount of support given by his Department to(a) the Housing Corporation, (b) other housing funding, excluding local authority credit approvals/capital allocations in (i) England, (ii) Greater London and (iii) the south-east, excluding Greater London, for each year from 1982–83 to 1992–93, estimated, distinguishing between current and capital expenditure.
§ Sir George YoungThe table gives figures for the main areas of spending other than local authority capital, which also includes support to renovation grants for the private sector and housing defects expenditure. Figures for other housing programmes—including rent officers, rent assessment panels, homelessness revenue grants, housing mobility, home improvement agencies, housing research, estate action revenue, grants etc.—are either not broken down by region, or are not available on a regional basis other than at disproportionate cost. Further housing outputs are also funded through expenditure under the urban block, providing over 5,000 new units this year, and improving many more.
