§ Q2. Mr. Pavittasked the Prime Minister if he will seek to pay an official visit to the London Borough of Brent.
§ The Prime MinisterI have accepted an official invitation to attend the Football League Cup Final at Wembley Stadium next Saturday.
§ Mr. PavittIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that I expected him to visit not only the League Cup Final, but the F.A. Cup Final, as did his predecessor? I do not ask him necessarily to linger in Neasden, in my constituency, which would no doubt welcome him, but could he use his influence on the Conservative Neanderthal Council of the London Borough of Brent, as my borough is now getting a reputation throughout the country for its appalling housing policy which is having a terrible effect in dividing not the nation but my borough into two, Willesden and Wembley? On his way to the Cup Final, will he stop off at the town hall and have a word with the terrible Tory councillors, who are pursuing terrible policies?
§ The Prime MinisterI understand that the council proposes to put out to tender nearly 2,000 dwellings in 1971 and approximately 1,000 in 1972 and 1973, and those do not seem to me to be terrible proposals.
§ Sir E. BullusMay I assure my right hon. Friend that he will always be very welcome in the Borough of Brent and that he will be given a tumultuous welcome by the residents there?
§ The Prime MinisterI am looking forward to seeing my hon. and gallant Friend at Wembley.
