I propose to take Questions Nos. 447 and 452 together.

Work is currently underway on preparing the capital allocations under the housing programme for 2013, including the suite of Grants for Older People and People with a Disability. As part of this process, my Department requested local authorities to submit details of their funding requirements under the grant schemes. The information received is being assessed at present. I intend to announce details of the capital allocations to individual authorities as soon as possible. I also intend to review the terms and conditions of the various grant measures with a view to targeting those households in greatest need and extending the benefits of the schemes to as many people as possible. The Exchequer allocations for 2011 and 2012 and the percentage drawn down by each Local Authority are set out in the following table:
