§ Mr. MacCollAs I stated in reply to Questions by the hon. Member for West-morland (Mr. Jopling) and the hon. Member for North Fylde (Mr. Clegg) on 29th January, it is hoped to settle by discussion with the main housebuilding authorities, as part of the normal review of forward programmes, what it would be practicable for them to build over the next two or three years in the light of the priority to be given to slum clearance, to meeting shortages of rented accommodation in conurbations and especially to the priority areas, where there are the highest concentration of these problems; I am not yet able to give figures for any particular authority, area or region.—[Vol. 757, c.240]
