HC Deb 11 May 1954 vol 527 c57W
Mr. Hale

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government the policy of Her Majesty's Government on the letting of municipally-built houses as tied houses.

Mr. H. Macmillan

Councils are, by statute, entirely responsible for the letting of houses they own; but wherever possible the Government seeks to discourage the practice referred to by the hon. Member.
