HC Deb 31 January 1956 vol 548 cc93-4W
63. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will inquire from the County Councils Association, the Association of Municipal Associations, the Urban District Councils Association, and the Rural District Councils Association, to what extent the arrangements for subsidising local authority housing since the war have militated for or against building one-bedroomed houses for the small fixed-income groups; and if he will publish the replies, together with an analysis of the percentage provision for old-age pensioners of the post-war housing programme of each local authority.

Mr. Sandys

No. I do not know of any way of measuring the extent to which the subsidy has stimulated the building of houses of particular types.
