§ Mr. Fatchettasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will consider increasing the 1983–84 housing investment programme allocation for Leeds metropolitan district council, in order to meet the cost of repairing the council's stock of Airey houses.
§ Mr. GowNo. The problems of Airey houses in the district were taken into account when the housing investment programme allocation for 1983–84 was set. It is for the council to determine its own priorities in the spending of that allocation and of the capital receipts available to it.
