HC Deb 22 May 1981 vol 5 cc223-4W
Mr. Ray Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how much financial help was made available to each of the housing associations in Wales for 1981–82; and how this compares with each of the previous five years.

Mr. Michael Roberts

The number of persons aged 65 and over who were supported in residential accommodation by local authorities in Wales at 31 March 1980 is given in the following table.

Mr. Michael Roberts

Financial help to registered housing associations is available in the form of loans and grants related to specific projects from the Housing Corporation. Information about the amounts paid in any one year is not available without a disproportionate expenditure of time and resources.
