HC Deb 15 June 1998 vol 314 cc50-2W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what data his Department has collated on housing spending for each London borough for 1997–98 and for the current year on(a) capital repairs and (b) new constructions and on the proportion of this which comes from (i) capital receipts and (ii) Government sources. [45344]

Mr. Raynsford

The available information on housing capital expenditure in 1997–98 as reported by London boroughs is set out in the following table. Estimates of overall capital expenditure in 1998–99 will be reported by local authorities as part of their Housing Investment Programme (Annual Plan) submissions in September.

Authorities' housing capital programmes in both years will be financed in part by the Capital Receipts Initiative, in addition to HIP allocations, Supplementary Credit Approvals and Single Regeneration Budget/Estate Action resources. Information on HIP and CRI allocations is given in the table; final information on the financing of the 1997–98 capital programme will be available later in the year.
