HC Deb 25 July 1967 vol 751 c86W
Mr. Francis Noel-Baker

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what assistance his Department will provide to the Swindon Borough Council to provide more housing suitable for middle and senior executives employed in industry and commerce in the town.

Mr. Mellish

Swindon Borough Council already undertakes some building for sale as part of its town development scheme, but I would expect any demand for the more expensive type of housing to be met primarily by private enterprise. I have written to my hon. Friend explaining the position more fully.
