HC Deb 26 April 1984 vol 58 c576W
Mr. Anderson

asked the Prime Minister what special factors lead to expenditure on housing in Wales being proportionately less than in other parts of the United Kingdom.

The Prime Minister

The allocation of provision to individual services within the Wales "block" is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.

There is no necessary relationship between the levels of spending on a particular service in different parts of the United Kingdom.

However, since 1979–80 on a per capita basis total net capital expenditure on housing in Wales has been broadly comparable to that in England, though less than that in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
