§ Mr. Alec JonesThe provision for house building in Wales is regularly under review. I have recently announced an additional £11.2 million allocation for 1977–78. It has always been the practice to notify housing authorities by letter of all allocations of housing finance. In relation to the last part of the Question, I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Bedwellty (Mr. Kinnock) on 19th May.—[Vol. 392, c. 281.]
§ Mr. Geraint Howellsasked the Secretary of State for Wales what proportion of the £11.2 million additional expenditure for housing in Wales announced on 20th June will be allocated to each district council in Wales.
