HC Deb 09 May 1950 vol 475 c41W
112. Mr. Orbach

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning what steps he proposes to take to deal with the housing problem in Willesden, where there are 8,800 families on the borough council's waiting list for accommodation, in view of the fact that the Hemel Hempstead scheme is not likely to meet the demand for many years to come, and in view of the shortage of building land in the borough.

Mr. Dalton

It is anticipated that, in addition to Hemel Hempstead, the new towns of Stevenage, Welwyn, Hatfield and Harlow will assist in relieving the housing shortage in Willesden.
