HC Deb 02 February 1977 vol 925 c205W
Mr. Viggers

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what guidance he gave to local authorities about making available 100 per cent. mortgages to prospective home buyers.

Mr. Armstrong

No advice has been given recently, and none seems called for. Local authorities are making wide use of their powers to grant such loans, which now account for some 30 per cent. of the value of all loans.
