HC Deb 05 March 1968 vol 760 c55W
55. Mr. Dance

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether the 4,000 houses to be built in Redditch as a contribution to Birmingham's overspill problems represent an acceleration of or an addition to the new town development.

Mr. MacColl

The 4,000 houses are not an addition. They are to be provided by accelerating the Development Corporation's rate of building during the period 1971 to 1975.
