HC Deb 18 July 1961 vol 644 c115W
61. Mr. Jeger

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he is aware of the imminent building of several hundred new houses for a new mining community at Knottingley; and whether he will convene a conference of the appropriate bodies in order to ensure that all vital local services are adequate for their increased functions.

Mr. Brooke

I am aware that the Knottingley Urban District Council has agreed to build 1,200 houses for miners over the next four years. But I have no reason to believe that any conference is required in order to ensure provision of the necessary local services.
