§ 36. Mr. Wilkesasked the Minister of Health to what extent it has been his policy to grant an additional housing allocation to local authorities in areas where the local building industry has succeeded in completing the original allocation within the period; whether any town in the North-East region has, on completion of its original allocation within the period, had its request for an additional allocation refused; and which local authorities in North-East England have applied and received an additional allocation on completion of the original target.
§ Mr. BevanAdditional allocations are made to local authorities as soon as satisfactory progress has been made with the initial allocation for any period, so as to maintain a continued house building programme. The second and third parts of the Question do not, therefore, arise.
