HC Deb 27 November 1980 vol 994 c162W
Mr. Body

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much public money if to be made available to local authorities to enable them to make grants for the repair of older properties in accordance with the Housing Act 1980.

Mr. Stanley

Under both the housing investment programme (HIP) arrangements for the current year and the new system of capital allocations to be introduced on 1 April 1981, local authorities can decide for themselves what proportion of their allocation to use for repair grants.
