§ Dr. David Kerrasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what sum of money is to be granted to the London borough of Wandsworth under the Government's proposals to assist local authorities responsible for heavy programmes of slum clearance; and what conditions he will impose on its use.
§ Mr. MellishHouses completed by Wandsworth on or after 25th November, 1965, will qualify for the new subsidies. Since the value of the new subsidies will vary from authority to authority according to the size and cost of their building programme, my right hon. Friend is not yet able to make estimates for individual authorities.
No conditions will be imposed but, as the recent Housing White Paper made clear, the Government expect the new subsidies to be used to relieve those with the greatest social need.
