HC Deb 15 April 1981 vol 3 c174W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether any consideration is given to the pressure on privately rented housing stock arising from his location of a university or training college within that district, in assessing the housing needs of districts in Wales for the purposes of determining the allocation of Government financial assistance to local housing authorities.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

It is for each Welsh authority, in preparing its housing strategy and investment programme, to take proper account of all the needs and pressures arising in its area. The bids received from local housing authorities are taken into account in determining allocations of Government financial assistance.
