HC Deb 29 July 1952 vol 504 cc106-7W
82. Mr. Steward

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware that some local borough councils are still adhering to the old ratio of 20 per cent. in the granting of private licences to build houses, whereas others are proceeding to issue up to 50 per cent. of the annual quota; and if he will take steps to regularise the position.

Mr. Marples

My right hon. Friend would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Solihull (Mr. M. Lindsay) on 22nd July.

93. Wing Commander Bullus

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many local councils, which are housing authorities, have not issued a private house building licence since 1945; and if he will publish a list of these authorities.

Mr. Marples

My right hon. Friend would refer my hon. Friend to Appendix B to the quarterly Housing Returns.
