Local Government Finance: Housing

John Hemming
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what the housing revenue account subsidy entitlement for each local authority with housing was for (a) 2006-07 and (b) 2007-08 in (i) percentage and (ii) cash terms; and for local authorities with negative subsidy what that negative subsidy was per property in each such year.

John Healey
A table showing the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) subsidy entitlement, both positive and negative, for each English local housing authority for 2006-2007 has been deposited in the Library of the House. No audited data is available for 2007-2008. Where HRA subsidy entitlement is positive, the table shows the percentage share each local housing authority got of the total positive HRA subsidy. Where HRA subsidy is negative, the table shows what the negative HRA subsidy is per dwelling.
