HC Deb 09 December 1969 vol 793 cc74-5W
Mr. Gregory

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what were the estimated amounts paid to individual county boroughs, non-county boroughs, urban and rural district councils in the Lancashire and Cheshire area for housing subsidies for 1963–64 and also for the current financial year; and if he will publish the details in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. Freeson

I regret that comprehensive information of this kind is not readily available and could only be abstracted at considerable expense. Comparative information on housing subsidies, however, is available for a substantial proportion of local housing authorities in England and Wales, for 1963–64 and 1967–68, in the housing statistics published by the Institute of Municipal Treasurers and Accountants. These statistics for 1968–69 should be published early next summer.
