HC Deb 15 February 1955 vol 537 cc22-3W
72. Miss Lee

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many houses Cannock Urban Council asked permission to build for the current year; and what allocation has been sanctioned.

Mr. Sandys

It is not usual to publish figures of housing allocations.

73. Miss Lee

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many private houses are being built in the Cannock Urban Council area at the present time; and how many families have applied for loans from the council to help build their own homes, during the years 1950–54.

Mr. Sandys

At the beginning of January, 40 private enterprise houses were under construction in the district. I do not know how many applications for loans were made, but the number granted during the last three financial years was 28.
