§ Mr. Peter Millsasked the hon. and learned Member for Brigg, as second Church Estates Commissioner, if he will ensure that the Commission devote more of their resources even at a lower return to housing for the lower income group.
§ Mr. E. L. MallalieuI am pleased to state that the Church Commissioners have agreed to spend nearly £2 million on building flats for letting to 271 tenants to be nominated by the Greater London Council, which will approve the rents.
§ Mr. Peter Millsasked the hon. and learned Member for Brigg, as second Church Estates Commissioner, how much of the Commission's resources are devoted to the higher income groups of housing and how much to the lower group.
§ Mr. E. L. MallalieuIt is not possible to give the information requested. I 47W can, however, say that about 3,300 of the Commissioners' residential tenants pay rent of less than £5 per week, and that since the war the Commissioners have sold 300 acres of land in London for local authority housing.
