§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much money his Department is making available to local housing authorities in Wales to deal specifically with problems of condensation and dampness in council housing stock; what is his assessment of the extent of the problem in Wales; and what are the prospects of achieving a solution.
§ Mr. Nicholas BennettI refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply I gave him on 5 February. The results of the 1986 Welsh house condition survey indicated serious problems of dampness in 0.3 per cent. of the local authority stock.
