§ Mr. MurphyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Torfaen, of 5 July,Official Report, column 520–1, what proportions these proposals represent of the White Paper's total housing expenditure over the planning period to 1991; and whether the figure for new buildings in the answer contains any private sector funding.
§ Mr. GristThe £457 million we expect to see spent on housing in the Valleys in the next three years represents total investment (both by the public and private sectors) and is not therefore directly comparable to the planning totals in the White Paper.
