HC Deb 26 April 1955 vol 540 cc750-1
27. Mr. H. Wilson

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government why he has restricted the Huyton-with-Roby Urban District Council to a programme of 150 council houses in 1955.

Mr. Deedes

The right hon. Gentleman is misinformed. My right hon. Friend is assured that the council will complete well over 200 houses this year.

Mr. Wilson

Since the council itself has been informed that 150 was the limit, but since it is capable of building up to 400 houses this year if it were not for the intervention of the Minister, will the hon. Gentleman look into the figure again and see whether he cannot step up the allocation?

Mr. Deedes

We will certainly look into the figure.
