HC Deb 01 August 1966 vol 733 cc29-30W
74. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what action will be taken to stabilise the price of new housing for the next six months following the Government's request for a standstill.

Mr. Crossman

Statutory control of the price of houses is not practicable. But the Government expect the standstill on wages and other costs to enable builders and developers to hold prices down.
