HC Deb 11 December 1989 vol 163 c483W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he has taken to ensure that the new house repairs and renovation grant system is sufficiently tightly drawn to avoid grant money being used for improvement of holiday homes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Grist

The conditions in the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 on owner-occupation and availability for letting will enable local authorities to ensure that grant money is not used for second or holiday homes.
