34. Lieut.-Commander R. H. Thompsonasked the Minister of Local Government and Planning whether an allocation of 992 houses for male telephonists is contemplated in the plans for Crawley satellite town.
§ Mr. DaltonNo special allocation will be made, but the New Town Corporation are in touch with the postmaster regarding the housing needs of his staff.
Lieut.-Commander ThompsonWould not the Minister agree that in a planned community of this kind some special steps should be made to provide this accommodation for key personnel at an early stage?
§ Mr. DaltonIt has all been perfectly planned, and the hon. and gallant Member will be interested to hear that only one additional male telephonist will be required before the end of 1952.
