§ Mr. BayleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how much was spent in North Yorkshire by the Housing Corporation in 1993–94; and what is its budget for North Yorkshire in 1994–95.
§ Sir George YoungIn 1993–94, the Housing Corporation spent £15,764,153 in North Yorkshire.
The Housing Corporation cannot, at this stage, give an exact figure for the 1994–95 budget for North Yorkshire. However, the total cost of housing association schemes which the Housing Corporation expects to approve in North Yorkshire in 1994–95 is £11,926,000; approximately half of this is expected to be spent in 1994–95. In addition, the corporation forecasts that in 1994–95 they will spend £8,147,000 on existing schemes in North Yorkshire. Therefore, the total Housing Corporation budget for North Yorkshire in 1994–95 is estimated to be in the region of £14 million.
