HC Deb 05 March 1957 vol 566 c25W
60. Mr. Randall

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he has considered the request from the Gateshead Borough Council to amend their development plan where land is required for housing purposes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. H. Brooke

The proposed amendment involves using for housing purposes land which is allocated in the plan for school sites, and I am anxious to discover what other provision the council has in mind for the schools. The council is being invited to discuss the matter with my officers.
