HC Deb 24 May 1960 vol 624 c18W
24. Mr. Loughlin

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he is satisfied with the present rate of council building of flats and flatlets; and if he will name the individual local authorities whose rate of building of such dwellings is at present below the rate aimed at by his Department.

Mr. H. Brooke

Local needs differ, and local authorities must decide for themselves what proportions of dwellings of different types they build. But I hope that all authorities will give high priority to the provision of flatlets and other forms of accommodation suitable for elderly people.
