HC Deb 20 February 1968 vol 759 c62W
41. Mr. Barnett

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what assistance he gives to local authorities seeking to obtain tenants for empty cotton mills in Lancashire; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacDermot

Loan sanction can be given for this purpose but resources are at present severely limited. However, my right hon. Friend is prepared to consider cases of special need.
