HC Deb 05 April 1960 vol 621 cc35-6W
71. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs the number of houses designated for slum clearance in Cardiff during the next year; and what provision for alternative sites for building purposes is contained in the development plan for Cardiff.

Mr. H. Brooke

It is a matter for the Cardiff Corporation to decide how many unfit houses will be cleared during the next year but as there are 251 houses included in confirmed compulsory purchase orders, it is reasonable to assume that most of these will be dealt with. I understand that there is not likely to be any difficulty about the provision of land to meet the resulting housing requirements.
