HC Deb 06 May 1964 vol 694 cc167-8W
Mr. Hollingworth

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs how long it will take at the present rate of building to replace the existing slum property in the city of Birmingham.

Sir K. Joseph

I estimate that if its present rate were not accelerated it would take 20 years for the council to clear its existing slums, but as I said in the House on 18th March, I hope that it will be possible for the pace to be further increased.
