I have today placed in the Library of the House a table showing, for each local authority in England, the total external debt and the debt per capita as at 31 March 2014. The average debt per capita for all local authorities in England is £1,530.

The debt figures are collected on the capital payments and receipts (CPR4) provisional outturn form completed by each local authority in England and published at the following location;
