HC Deb 03 March 1992 vol 205 c130W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on the progress of Tai Cymru's scheme to encourage the development of affordable housing for young people in the rural areas of Wales.

Mr. Nicholas Bennett

The village initiative, which was launched in 1989, has resulted in the provision of 160 additional homes—seven more than expected.

Housing for Wales is also finalising arrangements for joint working fora involving key organisations in north, mid and west Wales. These measures will help in targeting resources allocated to rural housing which in 1992–93 will amount to over 27 per cent. of housing for Wales's programme.
