Mr. Ridley [holding answer 14 February 1989] : The information requested for 1989-90 is not yet available by region and individual local authority. Table 1 gives the total of capital allocations in 1989-90 for England and the percentage changes over 1981-82 and 1988-89. Local authorities can spend a proportion of their capital receipts in addition to their allocations. Therefore, table 1 also includes information about spending power.
