HC Deb 18 November 1969 vol 791 cc237-8W
78. Mr. Woodnutt

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government why he has not increased the Cowes Urban District Council's quota for advances for house purchase for the year 1969–70; if he will consider increasing the council's quota from any amount that he may reallocate from additional quotas not taken up by other authorities; whether he is satisfied that a quota of just over £10,000 is adequate for the Cowes Urban District Council; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeson

Additional quotas for 1969–70 were restricted to areas of priority housing need. I regret that it has not proved possible to consider increasing that available to this Council.
