§ Mr. Geraint Howellsasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give extra financial assistance to local authorities to enable them to provide a greater number of sheltered housing for elderly people in Wales; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsNo. It is for individual authorities to decide what funds to devote to the provision of sheltered and other special needs housing from within their block allocation but I have asked them to pay special attention to those needs.
