HC Deb 10 May 1984 vol 59 c426W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether any consideration is given by his Department to the number of persons on the waiting list for rented council accommodation in each district council area when the annual financial allocations for housing for each district in Wales is determined.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

As I told the hon. Member for Swansea, East (Mr. Anderson) on 25 April, in column492, waiting lists are not compiled by authorities in Wales on a uniform basis. They do not therefore provide an accurate indication of relative housing need.
