§ Mr. D. E. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Wales what were the housing expenditure allocations for each local housing authority for 1974–75, 1975–76 1976–77, 1977–78, 1978–79, 1979–80, at 1979–80 outturn prices.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe allocation system did not come into operation until 1975–76. Thereafter there was no common basis between years in making the allocations, which covered a different range of housing activities in each year. Consequently it would not be possible, except606W at disproportionate cost, to bring them to a common and meaningful price basis.

§ Mr. D. E. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the total financial requirement for each housing authority's proposed housing investment programmes for 1980–81 as submitted to him, and the actual amount allocated to each housing authority for that year.
