<p>I refer the Hon. Member to my written answer to him of 23 October 2014, PQ 210903.</p><p>
</p><p>More broadly, I would note:</p><p> </p><p>· In 2014-15, Birmingham has an area
spending power per dwelling of £2,679, considerably more than the comparable English
average of £2,089.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>· Birmingham City Council has the highest
revenue outturn spending in England after the Greater London Authority: a total of
£2.0 billion in 2013-14.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>· Birmingham City Council is estimated
to receive total government grants of £3,319 per dwelling in 2014-15; this compares
with the English average of £2,628 and is the 13<sup>th</sup> highest in England (budgeted
figures for revenue expenditure and financing; excludes income from mandatory housing
benefits; includes education spending).</p><p> </p>
