HC Deb 25 October 1960 vol 627 c242W
Mr. Deedes

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what steps his Department is taking to promote good design in housing.

Mr. H. Brooke

I am very anxious to encourage the highest standards in the layout and appearance of new housing, and I am starting a series of competitions for awards for good design. The first competition will cover groups of dwellings completed in the last five years. I intend to award medals and diplomas to the winning entries from each of four regions of England, and also from Wales.
