Mr. Baker White

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many licences for private building have been issued by the Herne Bay Urban District Council since 1st November, 1951; and what is the maximum number that could have been issued on the basis of 50–50 as between private and local authority building.

The council has received instalments of 70 houses. Of these they have so far issued none for private building but have promised 25. They are now awaiting plans, etc., from applicants.
