HC Deb 17 December 1957 vol 580 c44W
93. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware that Accrington Town Council has had to suspend its scheme of loans for house purchase because of the Government's policy of a high Bank Rate; and how many other local authorities are now in the same position.

Mr. H. Brooke

Local authorities do not have to inform me if they decide to suspend loans for house purchase. I can see no general cause why they should take such a decision.
