Mr. D. E. Thomas
asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the average time taken by his Department to consider housing schemes presented by housing associations for the years 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978 and 1979.
Mr. Wyn Roberts
The time taken for considering individual schemes varies widely. An assessment of an average time would therefore be meaningless and could not be made without undue expenditure.
