§ 64. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what information he has to show, approximately, the aggregate number of housing units that could be provided by local authorities and private enterprise in the extra Metropolitan boroughs of Essex on land zoned for building in the development plan approved by him.
§ Mr. PowellMy right hon. Friend has not yet approved the Development Plan for Essex. The proposals made in the Plan are based on a survey carried out in 1951 which showed that at that time there were sites for some 10,000 houses130W in the Essex boroughs adjoining London. Much of this space has since been taken up.
