HC Deb 24 November 1964 vol 702 cc150-1W
48. Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is satisfied that one new town will be adequate to enable Manchester and its neighbours to meet their housing needs; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Crossman

It is too early to say whether a further new town will be required. The long term overspill needs of this area are being considered in the context of the North West Study, with which my Department is associated.

49. Mr. Charles R. Morris

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will make a statement on Her Majesty's Government's policy towards the designation of a site to the east of Warrington as a new town to meet the housing site needs of the city of Manchester and its neighbours.

Mr. Crossman

I will make a statement as soon as I can.
