Is not the Minister somewhat complacent? Does not the kind of information elucidated by the Question show the need for a radical reappraisal of the way in which money is being used and housing financed? Will he take on board the point which arises from his last reply that large areas of expenditure by local authorities are not covered by the reckonable expenditure element due for subsidy? I am getting a stream of complaints from local authorities about this, and I am sure he must be, too.
