HC Deb 24 July 1978 vol 954 c564W
Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) whether any local authorities have received loan sanction since the end of December 1977 to build dwellings for sale by direct labour; and, if so, whether he will name the scheme in each case, the gross tender price and the number of dwellings involved;

(2) whether he will list the local authorities which have received loan sanction to build dwellings by direct labour since 1st January 1978, naming the scheme in each case, the gross tender price and the number of dwellings involved.

Mr. Armstrong

The information available to the Department up to 21st July 1978 follows. None of the schemes listed contained dwellings for sale.

proval for work under the programme and we have not yet received the first quarter's returns of works actually carried out. Expenditure under this programme qualifies for subsidy at 66 per cent. on notional loan charges incurred.
