HC Deb 30 March 1981 vol 2 cc8-9W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the places where the Welsh housing investment programmes are available for inspection.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Copies of Welsh local authorities' housing investment programmes have been placed in the Library. Authorities were also urged to make them available locally for public discussion.

Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will take steps to make the housing investment programme form filled in by local authorities in Wales of a format and standard similar to that used in England.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The HSIP form to be filled in by local authorities in Wales has to be designed to enable the Welsh Office to exercise its responsibilities in respect of housing and to fit with the local authority capital expenditure control system. The information required for these purposes will continue to be kept to a minimum. The form used in England is designed for the particular needs there.
