§ 38. Mr. James Johnsonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government the housing allocation for the Rugby Rural District Council for 1951; and what is the proposed allocation for 1952.
§ Mr. H. MacmillanForty and 30, respectively, excluding in each case unused balances from previous years.
§ Mr. JohnsonIs the Minister aware that the villages in the area are dormitories of such boom towns as Rugby and Coventry and, now that the taxpayer is expecting many more houses to be built, will he turn his attention to this area and see that we get a larger allocation in the future?
§ Mr. MacmillanYes, Sir, but it is important to have regard to the carry-over of past allocations not completed, and therefore I feel the first duty is to get on with the programme, including the unfinished programme.
