§ 85. Mr. H. Hyndasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what proposals he has for a higher rate of housing subsidy to apply to houses whose construction has been delayed because his Department has insisted on fresh tenders or alterations in specifications.
§ Mr. SandysI assume the hon. Member is referring to the position which will arise when the Housing Subsidies Bill becomes law. After the Bill has received a Second Reading, I propose to issue to local authorities a circular dealing among other things with this point, and I will send a copy to the hon. Member.
