HC Deb 03 February 1955 vol 536 c154W
Mr. Rankin

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government which towns, whose building space within their boundaries has been used up, are now sharing in the overall deficit of the new town required to meet their housing needs, and at the same time paying a contribution in respect of every house allotted to persons on their waiting list.

Mr. Sandys

In the news towns in England and Wales housing operations are self-balancing. The question of contributions to a deficit does not therefore arise.
