HC Deb 25 February 1964 vol 690 c43W
Mr. Boyden

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs how many local housing authorities, following the issue of Circular 42/62, have indicated that they do not propose to undertake improvement schemes for streets or larger areas.

Mr. Corfield

Local authorities were asked what action they proposed in order to obtain better progress with improvements. Of the reports received, about 3 per cent. indicated positive resistance to doing anything to stimulate the rate of improvement.
