§ 39. Mr. Hunterasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government the number of local authorities in London and Middlesex who have protested to him against the Government decision to abolish the housing subsidies for general needs, together with the high interest rates for housing loans.
§ Mr. HunterI should like to ask the Minister to consider these protests. I know that the Feltham Council has protested, because it has a waiting list of 1092 over 1,600. Though the Minister does not think that there is a acute housing shortage today, may I invite him to come any month to my advice bureau at Feltham to hear of the heart-breaking experiences of those who seek accommodation?
§ Mr. SandysThe hon. Member should have addressed those remarks to me during the course of the debate last week when the House in its wisdom decided to approve this Order.
