HC Deb 09 February 1971 vol 811 cc150-1W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is aware that between 1965 and 1969 the number of two-bedroomed houses completed by the Huddersfield local authority was 44, the number of three-bedroom houses 17, and that no four-bedroom houses were completed during those five years; and if he will urge the Huddersfield authority to build more of the family-type dwellings.

Mr. Channon

I am aware that the Huddersfield County Borough Council has over recent years been concentrating on the provision of accommodation for small households and the elderly. It is for the Council to decide what the housing needs of its area are and how to meet them.
