HC Deb 31 July 1956 vol 557 cc104-5W
63. Mr. D. Jones

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware that a recent census revealed that there are 1,120 live applicants for housing accommodation in the county borough of West Hartlepool, in addition to 520 cases of slum clearance; and if he will therefore grant additional subsidies in this area in accordance with his powers under the Housing Subsidies Act.

68. Mr. Edward Evans

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, in view of the number of persons remaining on the housing lists, as being in need of accommodation, in the towns of Lowestoft, Beccles, Bungay, Halesworth and Southwold and in the rural districts of Lothingland and Wainford, whether he will use his powers under the Housing Subsidies Act, 1956, to pay an increased subsidy to these authorities.

Mr. Sandys

I have not received any application for additional subsidy under the Housing Subsidies Act, 1956, from any of these councils.
