Mr. Willie W. Hamilton
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what new initiatives he intends to take in the next few months to improve the state of the housing stock.
Mr. Gow
The Government will publish tomorrow a Green Paper outlining new proposals to improve the condition of private housing in England and Wales. My Department has asked English local authorities for a report on the condition of their housing stock. The results are expected in July.Gross housing provision in England in the current year is £3,051 million, of which a substantial part will be spent on improving public sector housing.
