HC Deb 16 July 1957 vol 573 c109W
88. Mr. G. Jeger

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many local authorities have intimated to him that they are ceasing to build council houses except for slum clearance.

Mr. H. Brooke

My Department do not keep a classified record of the information received from local authorities about their intentions in regard to future house-building. Such a record would in any event be of limited value, since few authorities inform me of their intentions, and, also intentions change.
