HC Deb 28 April 1978 vol 948 cc714-5W
Mr. David Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether there are any plans for joint financing of hostels for the mentally handicapped over 16 years of age; and, if so, where they are to be sited.

Mr. Moyle

In 1976–77 and 1977–78 I received information about 19 such homes where joint finance was contributing to the cost of construction. Authorities are still planning the use of their joint finance allocations in 1978–79, but I have provisionally selected six such homes for loan approval. Details are:

  • Banbury

  • Bexley
  • Brighton
  • Chingford
  • Derby
  • Durrington

  • Havering
