§ Mr. Tudor Watkinsasked the Secretary of State for Wales (1) how many applications have been received from authorities in Wales for additional subsidy under section 5(2) of the Housing Subsidies Act, 1967; and how many have been granted and disallowed;
(2) whether he will review the decisions of his Department in disallowing applications for additional subsidy under Section 5(2) of the Housing Subsidies Act, 1967, where small local authorities are building houses for key workers to attract industries for Mid-Wales to combat rural depopulation.
