HC Deb 07 May 1951 vol 487 cc187-8W
Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Local Government and Planning if he is aware that there were at least 10 people waiting for every house that was built in the year 1950–51; and what fresh proposals he has for overcoming this situation.

Mr. Dalton

The answer to the first part of the Question is "No." As to the second part, I am sending the hon. Member a copy of a circular which I addressed to local authorities on 28th April.
