§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is the reason for the projected reduction between 1993–94 and 1994–95 in housing expenditure in Wales as set out at figure 7.01 in his annual report and expenditure plans for 1994–95 to 1996–97, Cm 2515.
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesAs figure 7.01 of the Welsh Office departmental report indicates, total provision for housing programmes in 1994–95 has been set at £634.9 million, an increase of £27 million over 1993–94 plans and £32.9 million over 1993–94 forecast outturn. The table does not include private sector contributions to the Housing for Wales programme. These, together with transfers from local authorities, are expected to take total housing association capital spending to some £200 million in both 1993–94 and 1994–95.
