§ Mr. CannTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if receipts from the sale of Ministry of Defence homes will be treated as a capital inflow in respect of the balance of payments in statistics produced by the Central Statistical Office. [6217]
§ Mrs. Angela Knight[holding answer 26 November 1996]The sale of Ministry of Defence homes, for which contracts were exchanged on 24 September 1996, was to Annington Homes. This is a UK-registered company, so no capital inflows will be recorded in the balance of payments statistics.
