HC Deb 27 July 1961 vol 645 cc88-9W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will state the total area in the Borough of Willesden available as an open space or playing fields, as a percentage of the total area of the borough; and how this figure compares with adjoining boroughs in Middlesex.

Sir K. Joseph

The latest available figures are those provided by the Middlesex County Survey carried out in 1948–49 for the purposes of the Development Plan under the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, and are as follows:

cases following his circular, and the number of cases now pending.

Mr. Brooke

In December, 1960, the council submitted to me one such order in respect of one house. They later withdrew it and have submitted no similar orders since.

Mr. Skeet

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will state the total number of houses and flats that have been built, acquired or otherwise come under control of the Willesden Borough Council during the first six months of 1961.

Mr. Brooke

The council completed 18 dwellings in the first six months of this year. I have no records to show how many houses they acquired in the same period, but this information should be obtainable from the council.
