Question:83 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to the difficulties experienced by many young couples in obtaining local authority loans due to the very restrictive income limit of £10,000; if he has any proposals to increase the limit to £12,000 in view of the fact that it is difficult to sustain repayments on incomes less than this amount; and, if so, when; and in view of the fact that little local authority house construction is taking place and that commercial loans are not available to these couples, the proposals, if any, which he has to assist such people in obtaining their own houses.
