HC Deb 06 December 1966 vol 737 c255W
30. Mr. Channon

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government for what reasons he has refused further subsidies to be used for a direct labour housing development scheme in Jarrow; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Mellish

The scheme is expensive and the council has been asked to consider how it can be modified to reduce costs to an acceptable figure. If this can be done, and the council decides to go on with it, it will attract subsidy in the normal way.
