HC Deb 19 November 1957 vol 578 cc19-20W
64. Mr. Lipton

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many local authorities have now built enough to satisfy urgent housing needs; and whether he will publish a list of these authorities and further lists at quarterly intervals.

Mr. H. Brooke

It is for each local authority to decide this for itself, and I believe that all authorities keep it under continuous review. All I can say is that the building of 2¾ million new permanent houses since the war has gone a long way towards meeting the really urgent needs in a great many areas.
