§ Mr. Rowlandsasked the Secretary of State for Wales what arrangements are being made to publicise to local authorities in Wales the new cost arrangements 142W and the new subsidies for housing schemes in Wales.
§ Mr. Cledwyn HughesA circular has already been issued about the new housing standards, costs and subsidies. A further circular will be issued very soon dealing comprehensively with the detailed application of the new subsidies. In order to help local authorities in Wales in the early application of the new principles to their schemes, I am arranging for a series of conferences of housing authorities to be held in the course of the next few months.
