§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what was the average amount allocated per household for maintenance work on council houses in each district council in Wales for each year since 1988; and what are the estimated allocations per council household for 1992–93.
§ Mr. Nicholas BennettThe information requested is set out in the table.
These are the allowances set for subsidy purposes only. It is for authorities to set their own spending levels in their particular circumstances. The basis for calculating the allowances was changed in 1990–91 and further refined for 1991–92 and 1992–93. The figures for years before 1990-91 are not comparable with the later years.
