HC Deb 19 March 1975 vol 888 c421W
39. Mr. Peter Morrison

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is satisfied with the present level of authorised improvement grants.

Mr. Freeson:

In view of the new powers given to housing authorities under the Housing Act 1974 I hope that the figures for grants authorised will soon begin to reflect growing numbers of improvements, particularly to the worst substandard dwellings which to date have received proportionately the least attention.
