§ Mr. John Fraserasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what amount of money will be available to local authorities for home loans in the next financial year.
§ Mr. GreenwoodAs I explained in the debate yesterday the amount available in 1970–71 will be increased by £45 million to £100 million. This should not increase the total public expenditure on housing since there will be savings from other parts of the programme as a result, for example, of delays by house-building authorities in the placing of contracts.
