HC Deb 07 December 1977 vol 940 c751W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what percentage of the sums allocated for help to the construction industry in the past two years has gone to the South-West Region.

Mr. Freeson

The information that is readily available indicates that of the £30 million for local authorities and housing associations announced in May 1977, and the housing part—£49 million—of the assistance for construction announced in July 1977, some £4.3 million, or 5.44 per cent. was allocated to the South-West Region.
