§ Mr. BaldryAllocations were not made to particular local authority areas, but rather to housing associations working in larger areas, who were asked to ensure a reasonable distribution of purchases across local authority areas. A total of 6.8 per cent. of funds have been allocated to the Housing Corporation's north west region.
