§ Mr. A. Evansasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will give details of the schemes proposed to him by the London County Council under the Town Development Act; and indicate which of these proposals he has now approved and the number of persons likely to be rehoused thereby.
§ Mr. H. BrookeMy formal approval has not yet been sought for any such schemes; but schemes at Haverhill, Letchworth and Thetford (each for about 5,000 people) and at Huntingdon (for about 3,500 people) have reached an advanced stage of negotiation. In each of them provisional offers of Exchequer grant towards the extra cost of water and sewerage have been made. These offers are without prejudice to any planning or other approvals still needed before the schemes can be put into operation.
