§ Mr. Charles Morrisonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he proposes to issue to the local authority associations consultation papers on the new housing subsidy system.
§ Mr. HeseltineMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales and I are re-issuing the two consultation papers today. One sets out proposals for the calculation of the amount of the local contribution which local authorities may be expected to make in 1981–82; the other gives proposals for calculating the amount of management and maintenance expenditure to be treated as reckonable for the same year. Copies of the papers have been placed in the Vote Office and in the Libraries of both Houses. I shall seek an opportunity in the Debate on the Address today to set out our proposals.
