HC Deb 08 February 1977 vol 925 c647W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what guidance he has given to Welsh local authorities about making available 100 per cent. mortgages to prospective home buyers in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alec Jones

Local authorities have been aware since 1959 that they may make mortgage advances up to the full value of a property. I have no evidence that they require guidance on how they should exercise this power.
