§ Mr. StevensonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what resources have been made available to Stoke-on-Trent City Council under the housing capital receipts policy in each year since its inception, including amounts agreed for 2000–01. [105156]
§ Mr. MullinThe allocations made to Stoke-on-Trent City Council under the Capital Receipts Initiative (CRI) were as follows:
£ 1997–98 907,000 1998–99 3,141,000 1999–2000 2,894,000 There is no separate CRI allocation for 2000–01 as the resources for the CRI, and for support for private sector renovation grants, have been included within the main housing allocation. This has been done to provide authorities with more flexibility over the use of capital resources and to reduce the administrative burdens of operating the three separate funding streams.
Stoke-on-Trent's main housing allocation for 2000–01 is £11.7 million, 49 per cent. more than its equivalent allocation (including CRI and private sector renovation) for 1999–2000 (£7.8 million).
