Wexford housing allocations
Allen asked for annual funding allocations for local-authority housing in County Wexford. The Minister provided a tabular statement, noting that allocations could be reviewed after June 1977.
asked the Minister for Local Government the total allocation of moneys for local authority houses in County Wexford for each of the years 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976 and to date in 1977.
Comment on this
As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with the permission of the Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
Capital allocations (to nearest £000)
NOTES:
(a) Housing authorities have been informed that allocations generally will be reviewed after 30th June, 1977, and that further allocations may be made following the review, to cover expenditure on additional starts to be authorised later in the year.
(b) Wexford County Council only sought £671,000 in draws from the Local Loans Fund in 1976 out of their total authorised expenditure of £1,204,000.
(c) The figures shown for 1971-72, 1972-73, and 1973-74 are for the financial years ended 31st March 1972, 31st March 1973 and 31st March 1974 respectively. The figures for 1974 (9 months) relate to the transitional financial period from 1st April 1974 to 31st December 1974. In subsequent years the calender year coincides with the financial year.
(d) The figures shown in the table for 1971-72, 1972-73, 1973-74, 1974 and 1975 represent actual issues from the Local Loans Fund for local authority housing in each of these periods.
