§ 46. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he now has information in respect of the 981 number and percentage of licences issued for the building of houses for sale; how many of these were returned or refused; or, approximately, when he expects these to be available.
§ Mr. H. MacmillanI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to his Question on 10th June. Up-to-date figures will, so far as available, be included in Table 3 of the Housing Return for June.
§ Mr. SorensenCould the right hon. Gentleman say whether the licences refused or not used will be transferred by local authorities for use in building houses to let?
§ Mr. MacmillanThat is another question. It is a question of allocation. They will be given all that is possible with the labour and materials available, so that there will be no loss in production.
