Vol. 399 No. 11
69 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for the Environment the total amount of moneys which have been transferred through housing allocation moneys in local authorities to roads and expenditure; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I would refer the Deputy to the reply to Question No. 14 of 31 May, 1990.
An amount of £3.8 million of internal housing capital receipts of a number of housing authorities surplus to their housing allocation, was transferred to fund some of their road works programme. An equivalent amount of Exchequer funds for roads was transferred to the housing programme of other authorities with shortfalls in their internal housing capital receipts. This arrangement does not affect actual expenditure on either the local authority housing programme or the roads programme.
