HC Deb 19 May 1953 vol 515 cc1865-6
27. Mr. Gower

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what steps he will take to assist the owners of houses privately built on licence since the war in cases where those owners have to sell the houses when transferred to other places of employment.

Mr. H. Macmillan

I am not yet in a position to make a statement.

Mr. Gower

While I appreciate that the Minister's investigations may continue, may I ask whether he thinks it possible to relate the selling price of an existing house to the cost of erecting a house of similar size and similar floor space elsewhere?

Mr. Macmillan

Oh, yes; that is very relevant.
