HC Deb 21 January 1971 vol 809 c332W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will take steps to allocate to all housing authorities a sum equalivent to the tax relief for owner-occupiers to enable some council houses to be built out of revenue.

Mr. Amery

No. Building out of revenue makes the available funds go much less far than the normal practice of financing major capital expenditure by borrowing.
