HC Deb 01 July 1996 vol 280 cc270-1W
Mr. McAllion

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the expenditure on council housing in(a) Scotland and (b) Dundee in (i) 1989–90 and (ii) 1995–96, expressed in 1995–96 prices. [33845]

Mr. Raymond S. Robertson

The table gives estimated expenditure in 1995–96, and actual expenditure in 1989–90 expressed in 1995–96 prices. It should be noted that expenditure in any year depends, in part, on the success of local authorities in generating capital receipts. In 1989–90, the level of capital receipts generated by Scottish local authorities, including Dundee, considerably exceeded the estimated amount for 1995–96.

Total capital expenditure on Council Housing in Dundee and Scotland (£ million)
Dundee Scotland
1989–90 expenditure (at 1995–96 prices) 27.2 625.0
1995–96 estimated expenditure 15.6 425.1
