HC Deb 15 June 1977 vol 933 cc175-6W
Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what loan sanctions have so far been (a) sought by and (b) granted to local authorities for acquisitions under the Community Land Act 1975 of a planning or social nature, as outlined in paragraph 14 of GNLA/12.

Mr. Guy Barnett

Loan sanction applications in the financial year 1976–77 were concentrated mainly in the first quarter. First proposals to be considered in the light of GNLA/12 are currently being received. It will be some time before the possibility of a breakdown on the lines requested can usefully be considered.
