§ Mrs. Helen JacksonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many new houses have been completed with Housing Corporation funding in rural areas in each of the last three years.
§ Sir George YoungThe Housing Corporation's capital programme provided 98 new homes in rural areas—defined as settlements with a population of 3,000 or less—in 1990–91, 491 in 1991–92, 1,665 in 1992–93 and 1,701 this financial year up to the end of February 1994. These figures exclude completions of new homes which were approved before 1989–90, since the Housing Corporation did not collect such information on rural schemes approved prior to this date.
