§ Mr. Grist[holding answer 8 March 1989]: Since 1986, nine local authorities in the south Wales valleys have undertaken a total of 38 enveloping schemes incorporating some 4,000 homes at a cost of over £29 million. Details of the projects are given in the following table. The projects have been funded both from local authorities' main housing allocations and from additional resources we have made available.
Local authorities throughout Wales have been invited to submit bids for 1989–90 by 1 April 1989. I am confident these will include substantial new schemes in the valleys area which will enable them to make even greater progress in tackling the problems of the older housing stock.
