HC Deb 11 February 1969 vol 777 c268W
Mr. Howie

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what is the approved house building programme of Luton County Borough Council as from May, 1969.

Mr. MacColl

A programme for the calendar year 1969 has not yet been settled. At least eight schemes totalling 775 dwellings are likely to be included.

Mr. Howie

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many house building projects from Luton County Borough Council he has before him awaiting approval; how many houses are involved; how long they have been under consideration; and when approval is to be expected.

Mr. MacColl

Two schemes involving 470 dwellings. One, intended for development in stages, was submitted in July, 1967; the first stage has been approved and the next stage, timed to start this year, is under consideration. The second project was submitted in August, 1968, and approval is expected during this year.
