HC Deb 16 July 1979 vol 970 c377W
Mr. Squire

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he intends to adopt the recommendations submitted by 13 housing organisations in February and provide for (a) repair only grants available throughout the United Kingdom, (b) 75 per cent. grants for all houses lacking basic amenities and (c) 90 per cent. grants for people in financial hardship.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

Proposals for changes in the present system of house renovation grants will be included in the Housing Bill which will be introduced later in this Session. We cannot at this stage say whether all or any of the recommendations referred to will be included.
