HC Deb 17 July 1995 vol 263 cc868-9W
Mr. Raynsford

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list by region the total amount of(a) useable and (b) set-aside capital receipts held by each local authority in England at 31 March. [33473]

Sir Paul Beresford

[pursuant to his reply, 12 July 1995, c. 578]: Four local authorities in the south-east were omitted from the list provided. I am therefore placing a revised list of local authorities in the Library to the House.

This also affects the totals for the south-east region which should have read "Usable Receipts £1,206 million and PCL set aside £2,912 million."

Mr. Byers

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the level of capital receipts held by each local authority for the latest year available and the total for each region and nationally. [34645]
