HC Deb 23 March 1993 vol 221 c545W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make it his policy to provide for licensing and mandatory inspection of all houses in multiple occupancy in Wales.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

Local housing authorities must consider housing conditions in their areas annually. They already have powers to inspect and register houses in multiple occupation.

Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is the level of financial resources provided by his Department for the enforcement and application of current housing laws to houses in multiple occupancy in Wales in each year since 1989.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

It is for individual housing authorities to determine locally what proportion of the overall resources available to them should be used for this purpose.
