§ Mr. RowlandsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what was the grant made to each housing association in Mid Glamorgan in 1988–89; what the grant for each association will be in 1989–90; and what assessment he has made of the likely average increases in rent on new dwellings over those rents set for 1988–89.
§ Mr. GristThe table shows the grant made to each housing association for new schemes in Mid Glamorgan in 1988–89:
£000 Cynon Taff 1,715 Corlan 1,258 Merthyr HA 1,197 Wales and West 780 SHAW 325 South Wales Federated 72 Rhondda HA 1,918 Wales and West 325 United Kingdom HT 1,045 Western Permanent 580 Pontypridd and District 775 Haford 600 It will not be possible to provide details of grants to housing associations in 1989–90 until the end of the financial year.
The setting of rents is a matter for the housing association concerned. Any change in rents will differ from property to property according to a wide range of variables. Average increases are not meaningful and no assessment has been made of them.
