HC Deb 24 November 1958 vol 596 c15W
Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs how many overspill agreements have been signed between local authorities in the Midlands and those in Wales; what number of people are affected; and what are the names of the receiving authorities in Wales which have already received any of the overspill population.

Mr. H. Brooke

Overspill agreements with Birmingham Corporation have been signed by five local authorities in Wales and approved by me under Section 4 of the Town Development Act, 1952. The agreements do not specify the total number of people who might be affected, and no authorities in Wales have yet received overspill population under them.
