HC Deb 18 June 1968 vol 766 c118W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government on what grounds he bases his official estimate that the housing shortage will be over in five years' time; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Greenwood

My forecast about the housing need in five years' time was contained in a speech made to the Building Societies Association on May 29th. As the forecast was based on a number of assumptions which are fully set out in the speech I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of it. I am also placing a copy in the Library.
