HC Deb 30 November 1982 vol 33 c158W
Mr. Eastham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the recently announced allocation to assist local authorities for home improvements is entirely additional to continuing housing programme work.

Mr. Stanley

Yes. What my right hon. Friend announced on 27 October—[Vol. 29, c. 455]—was that local authorities could increase their expenditure in 1982–83 on home improvement grants without limit.
