§ Mr. Richardasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware of the high-density council housing development now taking place at Reporton-Kilmaine Roads, Fulham, S.W.6; whether, in the light of that development, he will take steps to ensure that local authorities are made aware of the possibilities of density building in the range of 136 to 175 persons per acre; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MellishYes. My right hon. Friend approved this scheme for loan sanction and subsidy purposes on 3rd December, 1965, and he will be interested to see how it works out in practice. Housing authorities in the big cities are in his experience fully alive to the need for a wide variety of solutions to the problems of building to high densities. He does not at present have any plans for giving them specific guidance.
