HC Deb 02 July 1957 vol 572 cc86-7W
33. Mr. Barter

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, having regard to his Department's declared policy regarding the desirability of many more housing improvements and conversions being carried out, what publicising action he proposes to take.

Mr. H. Brooke

Two leaflets are available, one free and one price 4d., explaining how improvement grants can be obtained. Over half a million of the first and nearly a quarter of a million of the second have been issued. A special display calling attention to improvement grants is being shown at the major agricultural shows this year, and in addition two demonstrations of actual improvements have already been held this year, at Leicester and Bolton. Arrangements are well advanced for a third, at Norwich, and it is hoped that two more will be carried out before the end of the year.
