§ Mr. Gwilym JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how expenditure which needs to be incurred by housing for Wales between now and 31 March 1989 is to be met.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerHousing for Wales has been established under powers contained in the Housing Act 1988. Parliamentary approval of expenditure on this new service will be sought in a supplementary Supply Estimate for the "Tourism, roads and transport, housing, other environmental services (including civil defence), education and science, arts and libraries, and health and personal social services, Wales" vote. Pending that approval, urgent expenditure estimated at £106,000 will be met by repayable advances from the contingencies fund.
