§ 31. Mr. Hunterasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government the approximate number of families transferred to new towns from the county of Middlesex this year at the latest convenient date.
§ Mr. BevinsInformation of this kind is collected twice yearly at 30th June and 31st December. I will inform the hon. Member as soon as the returns relating to the six months ending on 30th June have been collated.
§ Mr. HunterWill the Parliamentary Secretary give serious consideration to transfers to new towns from Middlesex? Local authorities in Middlesex have waiting lists of many thousands, with many priority cases among them, and the situation is getting very serious.
§ Mr. BevinsI am sure my right hon. Friend appreciates the fact that last year about one-quarter of the total number of new tenants in the new towns came from the County of Middlesex.
