HC Deb 08 May 1996 vol 277 cc135-6W
Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what was his Department's financial allocation to housing associations in each year since 1990(a) in real terms and (b) as a percentage change on the previous year. [27907]

Mr. Clappison

The public resources provided to housing associations through the Housing Corporation's approved development programme and through revenue grants and subsidies since 1990–91 are shown in my Department's annual report for 1996. A copy is in the Library of the House.

In addition, local authorities have provided funding to housing associations for the provision of new social housing.
