HC Deb 27 January 1987 vol 109 cc182-3W
Mr. Terlezki

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the grant available for house repairs in (a) Wales, (b) South Wales and(c) Cardiff between 1970 to 1975, 1975 to 1980 and 1980 to 1985; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mark Robinson

The level of grant available for the repair of dwellings is the same throughout Wales. Repair grants were introduced in 1974 at a rate of £800 per dwelling. That level increased to £1,500 in 1977, to £2,000 and subsequently £4,000 in 1980 and to its present level of £4,800 in 1983.
