§ Mr. Ormeasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware that, apart from the 2,976 houses to be demolished for road widening, there is insufficient land available in Salford at the present time to meet the city's housing needs, excluding the proposed road widening demolitions; and if he will provide special assistance to the city to enable it to acquire the land required for housing.
§ Mr. MacDermotI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave on 20th May to my hon. Friend the Member for54W Salford, East (Mr. Frank Allaun).—[Vol. 765, c. 35–6.]
§ Mr. Ormeasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware that in the proposed major road re-widening through the city of Salford 2,976 houses are to be demolished, and that of these 1,176 are fit for habitation and 1,800 unfit for habitation; and what arrangements he is making to make land available, including the possibility of overspill land, to replace these houses.

§ Mr. Ormeasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what estimate he has made of the new compensation to be paid for building land in Salford following the implementation of the proposal in the White Paper, Old Houses into New Homes.
§ Mr. MacCollMuch will depend upon the future rate of slum clearance, the number of owner-occupiers affected and the number of houses qualifying for payments in respect of good maintenance. However, in either of the past two years the additional compensation would probably have been in the region of £40,000–£50,000.
