HC Deb 01 December 1964 vol 703 cc52-3W
84. Sir J. Eden

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if it is the policy of Her Majesty's Government to act on the recommendations of the Allen Committee before next April.

Mr. Crossman

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply on 24th November to a question by the hon. Member for Harwich (Mr. Ridsdale). The Committee were not asked to make recommendations.

Sir J. Eden

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if, in the light of the findings of the Allen Committee, he will now define those areas where hardship due to revaluation has been greatest; and if he will make a statement about any national pattern which may have emerged, indicating the type of property which has attracted the largest percentage increases.

Mr. Crossman

I must ask the hon. Member to await publication of the report.
