HC Deb 16 July 2003 vol 409 c364W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how much was allowed to north east Lincolnshire for housing in the SSA for each year from 1995; and how much was spent on it by the local authority. [126419]

Mr. Raynsford

The majority of resources for housing are provided through the Housing Revenue Account. Formula Spending Shares (formerly Standard Spending Assessments) cover rent officer functions and certain homelessness and housing renewal functions, though we do not make allocations for specific services.

North East Lincolnshire's expenditure on these non-HRA housing services from 1996–97 to 2001–02 was £443,000; £785,000, £795,000, £850.000, £743,000 and £836,000 respectively.
