To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what was his Department's expenditure on housing associations in Devon in each of the past five years. [21345]

Mr. Curry

The Department provides funding to housing associations through grant in aid to the Housing Corporation. Capital expenditure in Devon through the Housing Corporation's approved development programme in each of the past four years was as follows:

  • 1993–94: £30.2 million
  • 1994–95: £28.8 million
  • 1995–96: £18.8 million
  • 1996–97: £16.9 million (forecast).

The 1992–93 capital expenditure figure for Devon cannot be separately identified from other approved development programme expenditure.
