§ Mr. Hoosonasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he is now able to provide the composition of the Housing Corporation's approved development programme for Wales in 1983–84.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsMy right hon. Friend announced on 23 November that the provision for the Housing Corporation in Wales in 1983–84 will be £41.3 million.—[Vol. 32, c. 708.] Estimated capital receipts of £1.14 million will provide a gross allocation of £42.44 million. This maintains in real terms the level of allocation which the corporation received for 1982–83.
Of the total provision, £26.2 million will be needed to meet existing commitments on new build and rehabilitation, and £7.6 million for new tender approvals. The balance of the provision will be used mainly to finance new rehabilitation schemes for rent, and on schemes for low cost home ownership. A copy of the detailed breakdown has been placed in the Library.
