§ 37. Mr. Swinglerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what report he has received from his Department's engineering inspector who visited Newcastle-under-Lyme on 9th November to survey private streets; and if he will now give loan sanction for private street works in cases applied for by the borough council.
§ Mr. PowellMy right hon. Friend has considered the inspector's report and has decided to sanction a loan for the making up of the three streets in question.
§ Mr. SwinglerWhile thanking the hon. Member and his right hon. Friend for that reply, which will be welcomed by the Newcastle-under-Lyme Council, which will now be able to get on with the work, is he aware that this is only the first instalment of a very big programme and that it is hoped that the Minister will give the same generous consideration to the later instalments?
§ Mr. PowellThese are the three streets to which the local authority gave the highest priority.
