HC Deb 02 June 1997 vol 295 cc50-1W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what are the total available capital receipts for each London borough; and when they will be available for capital housing spending. [1754]

Mr. Raynsford

Information about the usable capital receipts available in each London borough was given in my answer to my hon. Friend on 20 May 1997 [Official Report, column number 48]. The table below provides further information the total of housing receipts set aside by these authorities between 1990–91 and 1995–96. Individual authorities may have used these receipts to repay debt or in lieu of further borrowing, however, and so may no longer retain them in the form of cash and investments.
