§ 21. Sir R. Aclandasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how far the reduction in his allocation of council houses at Northfleet, from 80 in 1954 to 65 in 1955, is made in accordance with a general change of policy applicable to all areas; and what special features relating to the situation in Northfleet make such a reduction necessary.
§ Mr. SandysMy information is that the council is not asking for any further allocations for the present.
§ Sir R. AclandThat may very easily be the case, but does that preclude the Minister from answering the Question? This is a subject in which I am interested.
§ Mr. SandysI should perhaps have added, "Therefore the other part of the Question does not arise."
