To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what proportion of Tai Cymru funding was allocated towards approved development programmes of new housing for(a) special needs groups and (b) sheltered housing for elderly people in each year since 1990–91.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

Capital funding for new special needs projects as a percentage of the total programme was as follows:

Per cent
1990–91 9.3
1991–92 7.2
1992–93 4.4

Housing for Wales estimates that the figure for 1993–94 will be 8 per cent.

These figures are for new build only. They do not include the increasing number of homes being allocated to people in these groups from general needs provision.
