HC Deb 29 January 1952 vol 495 c18W
115. Mr. Donnelly

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is yet in a position to make a statement about new housing allocations.

Mr. Macmillan

The Government have removed the rigid limitation hitherto put upon the national housing programme. House production will be expanded over the next three years as rapidly as resources allow. The distribution of houses to local authorities will accord with this expanding programme. Many authorities have already been given additions to their so-called allocation for 1952. They know that in general the more houses that are built in their area the more instalments they will receive.
