§ 44 and 45. Mr. Pavittasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government (1) how many families have been re-housed by the London Borough of Brent on the Chalkhill Estate who were not previously on the housing waiting list;
(2) what is the number of units of accommodation now ready for occupation in the Chalkhill redevelopment scheme, the number actually occupied, and the number of families rehoused at Chalkhill as part of the Stonebridge and Church End redevelopment schemes.
§ Mr. FreesonNone of the 1,281 flats is ready for occupation. Of the 341 dwellings, 12 are ready for letting although I understand none has been allocated. As I understand that the council is not extending its rent rebate scheme to the majority of tenants at52W Chalkhill, I do not see how this scheme can thus be used to house families—including those from slum clearance and redevelopment areas—to whom the council has a special statutory responsibility.
