§ Dr. Lynne Jones
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what amount of asset sales have been realised(a) by each local authority and (b) in total by local authorities in each of the last five years. [48759]

§ Mr. Darling
Estimates for total local authority capital receipts in each of the last five years were published in Table 6.10 ofPublic Expenditure: Statistical Analyses 1998–99(Cm 3901). The same document also includes, in Table 1.6, figures over the period in question for the proceeds from the sale of fixed assets. I will write shortly to my hon. Friend with a breakdown of total capital receipts by individual local authority.
