Question 683: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the reason his Department proposes to exclude town councils from involvement in housing allocations in the future; the reason he proposes to transfer their functions in this respect to county councils; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I refer to the reply to Question Nos. 666 and 624 of 27 November 2007 in which I indicated that, generally, housing allocations in 2008 will be made directly to city, county, borough and town councils. County and city councils have since been provided with an indication of the general level of Exchequer funding that will be available over the next three years for the main housing programmes. Otherwise the position is unchanged.
