§ 92. Mr. Gibsonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware that the urgent housing cases in the London County Council lists now number over 50,000 families; and, in view of the difficulty in finding sites in London, the increasing costs of building, and the urgency of this matter, whether he will take steps to enable the council to obtain additional sites outside the county and to reduce the costs of building.
§ Mr. SandysI am in close touch with the London County Council on this matter. I should be happy to consider any suggestions of the hon. Member for bringing down building costs.
