§ 63. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if, pending the amalgamation of Greater London boroughs, he will encourage those boroughs that are to be amalgamated to institute within their prospective amalgamated areas joint committees for common action in meeting the housing needs of applicants on their present' respective housing lists.
§ Mr. CorfieldYes, indeed. My right hon. Friend wrote in January to all the authorities in Greater London pointing out that some of the proposed borough groups had already set up ad hoc joint committees and commending this arrangement to the remainder. He welcomes this opportunity of saying that if such committees care to put to him an agreed housing programme to carry them over the next three years he will be glad to consider their proposals.
