§ 31. Mr. Callaghanasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if, in view of the large number of families in Cardiff seeking homes who are unable to afford to purchase a house, he will give an assurance that the planning permission given to George Wimpey & Co. Ltd. to develop the Green Belt at Llanedeym, Cardiff, will in no way prejudice the application by the Cardiff City Council to acquire the land in order to build houses to rent.
§ The Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs (Sir K. Joseph)I have already done so in the letter of 7th November giving my decision on Messrs. Wimpey's planning appeal. I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
§ Mr. CallaghanMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman if the inspector will get details of the number of homeless families in Cardiff who are unable to afford to purchase a house and who are probably in greater need than any other section?
§ Sir K. JosephAll these considerations will come out at the public inquiry next week.
