asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the investment allocation by the Housing Corporation to housing associations working in inner city partnership and programme local authority areas in each year from 1977 to 1981; what the allocation will be in 1982–83; and if he will list the allocations during each of those years and for 1982–83 for each of the local authority areas concerned.
Information about allocations by the Housing Corporation to housing associations is not available broken down by local authority area. However, for 1982–83 the corporation has for the first time compiled information by local authority area on the total costs of new housing association schemes for rent to which it expects to give loan approval in 1982–83—equivalent information for low-cost home ownership schemes is not available. The figures for the local authority areas concerned are:
