Estimate

Notes: Figures before 1985–86 are not strictly comparable due to changes in the definition of gross capital expenditure; figures shown are an indication of trend only. Comparable figures for 1980–81 are not readily available.

Gross capital expenditure includes mortgage lending to former tenants in respect of dwelling sales which reached a peak of £750 million in 1982–83.
