HC Deb 13 March 1951 vol 485 c133W
95. Mr. Harmar Nicholls

asked the Minister of Local Government and Planning if he will encourage smaller council houses with a view to reducing rents and economising on materials by allocating to local authorities in terms of amounts to be expended on housing each year rather than in terms of a specific number of houses.

Mr. Dalton

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Hendon, North (Mr. C. I. Orr-Ewing), last Tuesday.
