§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many new housing units he anticipates will be built in Wales in 1986–87 by (a) local housing authorities and (b) registered housing associations; and if he will publish comparable figures for 1984–85 and estimates for 1985–86.
§ Mr. Mark RobinsonProvisional figures for the numbers of new dwellings completed in Wales in 1984–85 by local authorities and registered housing associations are 2,141 and 281 respectively. Comparable estimates for 1985–86 are 1,000 and 500. No reliable estimates are available for 1986–87.
§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish a table indicating his latest estimate of the eventual out-turn for 1985–86 of capital expenditure on new housing units by each of the district councils in Wales; and if he will give comparable figures for each of the past three years and his budgeted figures for 1986–87.
§ Mr. Mark RobinsonThe following table shows capital expenditure on new build in 1982–83, 1983–84 and 1984–85 for each district council in Wales.
199WAs authorities are free to determine their own priorities for housing investment there is no estimate available for 1985–86 and 1986–87.
Local authorities own forecast of such expenditure in 1985–86 is however included in the table.
