asked the Minister for the Environment the financial allocations to each county council and corporation area in 1979 and 1980 in respect of:—(a) roads, (b) water and sewerage schemes, (c) local authority housing construction and the percentage increase for 1980 in each case.
Written Answers. - Local Authorities Allocations.
178.
The information sought in regard to grants for road works is given in tabular statement No. 1 which follows.
Statement No. 2 gives details of the allocations to each county council and county borough corporation for local authority housing construction in 1979 and 1980. Since, as explained in the notes to the statement, the figures are not directly comparable, a percentage variation as between the two years is not shown.
I expect to be in a position shortly to notify local authorities of their allocations for water and sewerage schemes for 1980. When this has been done, I will let the Deputy have the information he has requested in relation to the allocation for the schemes.
