Housing Revenue Accounts
(asked on 12th February 2019) - View Source
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what proportion of each local authority's housing revenue account borrowing cap was utilised at the start of the (a) 2017-18 and (b) 2018-19 financial year.
The table below sets out for each local authority with a Housing Revenue Account (HRA) the percentage of their borrowing cap that had been utilised at 1 April 2017 and 1 April 2018. At Autumn Budget we confirmed that the HRA borrowing cap had been abolished. Local authorities are now free to borrow to build a new generation of council housing, in line with the Prudential Code. We expect them to be able to double building to 10,000 homes per year by 2021/22.
