HC Deb 12 April 1973 vol 854 c372W
Mr. Rowlands

asked the Secretary of State for Wales (1) whether he will list those services and programmes of his Department upon which savings are to be made to cover the cost of proposals described in the White Paper "Widening the Choice: The Next Steps in Housing"; and whether he will indicate the amounts saved in each service or programme;

(2) what savings, and on which services and programmes, his Department has made towards the cost of the £15 million grant to building societies and also to the cost of the proposals described in the White Paper "Widening the Choice: The Next Steps in Housing".

Mr. Peter Thomas

The cost of the £15 million grant will be met by savings from other expenditures for which the Department of the Environment is responsible. The contribution towards the cost of other measures described in the White Paper to be made from the programmes for which the Welsh Office is responsible has yet to be determined.
