HC Deb 21 June 1977 vol 933 cc434-5W
Mr. Watkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list in the Official Reportloans to housing associations in 1977–78 to date.

Mr. Armstrong

For England, up to the end of May, payments—loans and grant on account—by the Housing Corporation to housing associations for 1977–78 totalled £51.5 million. Payments by local authorities to housing associations for the month of April totalled approximately £10 million. I am afraid that later figures, and details of the payments made to individual housing associations are not readily available. For the first two months of 1977–78 loan approvals were given for new projects with a total value of £51.9 million, covering 4,363 units of accommodation.
