Mr. Maude

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list his latest estimates and forecast expenditure

families between families with (a) one child, (b) two children, (c) three children and (d) four or more children and between children aged (i) under 12 months, (ii) one to two years, (iii) three to four years, (iv) five to 10 years, (v) 11 to 15 years and (vi) 16 to 18 years. [67794]

Angela Eagle

The information is in the table.

in cash terms for the capital receipts initiative for (i) 1997–98, (ii) 1998–99, (iii) 1999–2000, (iv) 2000–01 and (v) 2001–02. [68384]

Dr. Reid

I have been asked to reply.

The following capital allocations have been made to local authorities in England under the capital receipts initiative:

£
1997–98 174,270,000
1998–99 569,359,000
1999–2000 570,169,000

The total resources for housing capital allocations in 2000–01 and 2001–02, which show substantial increases on the 1999–2000 figure and deliver the remainder of the additional £5 billion for investment in housing that we are making available during the current Parliament, were announced last summer following the Comprehensive Spending Review. Decisions have yet to be made about the distribution of these resources between different programmes. We have recently consulted on a proposal to combine capital receipts initiative and other housing capital support (apart from that for disabled facilities grants) into a single funding regime from 2000–01 onwards. The outcome of this consultation exercise will be announced shortly.
