§ Mr. Andersonasked the Secretary of State for Wales why he does not collect information on waiting lists for local authority rented accommodation in Wales; if he will now do so; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsWaiting lists are not compiled by local authorities on any uniform basis and therefore do not 493W provide an accurate indication of housing need. Consequently there would be no merit in collecting the information centrally.
