§ Mr. Geoffrey Lloydasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether, in respect of Sutton Coldfield, a residential area serving a large industrial conurbation and consequently subject to numerous transfers of houses, he will relax the present restriction on mortgage loans, especially that which deducts the value of uncompleted loans from the following year's allocation.
§ Mr. MellishI regret that it is not possible to increase the allocation of £91,000 already notified to Sutton Coldfield, which has been fixed on the same basis as for other local authorities within the overall amount available for this purpose.
