HC Deb 16 June 1969 vol 785 cc41-2W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will list in the OFFICIAL REPORT those local authorities that have discontinued house building and those that have considerably curtailed their house building, respectively, together with the relevant figures indicating housing completions in 1967, 1968, 1969 and the estimates for 1970.

Mr. MacColl

Housebuilding figures for individual authorities in 1967 and 1968 were published in Local Housing Statistics Nos. 5 and 9. Programmes for 1969 and 1970 are under continuous review by the main housing authorities and the Department's principal regional officers, and it would be premature to publish firm figures for either year. I understand, however, that the following major authorities have decided in principle to make significant reductions in their future programmes:

  • Sunderland.
  • Darlington.
  • Bradford.
  • Wakefield.
  • Morley.
  • Batley.
  • Macclesfield.
  • Coventry.
  • Southampton.
  • Ealing.
  • Harrow.
  • Waltham Forest.
  • Hammersmith.
  • Hillingdon.
