Housing Market (Wales)

HC Deb 29 January 2004 vol 417 c449W

Mr. Wiggin

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assessment he has made of the housing market in Wales. [151760]

Ruth Kelly

The Treasury monitors regional housing market developments, and from time to time reports on them. For example Box A4 in the 2002 pre-Budget report (CM 5664) discussed regional house price differentials. The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's "House Price Index Statistical Release" (available at http://www.odpm.gov.uk pns//pnattach/20040004/7.pdf) includes regular reporting of regional housing market developments.
