HC Deb 07 July 1970 vol 803 c20W
41. Mr. Oram

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will review the formula for Government grant towards the cost of strengthening tower blocks of flats in order to relieve the burden being carried by certain local authorities through no fault of their own.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what is his policy on the settlement of financial matters connected with the Ronan Point disaster and the grant to the London Borough of Newham; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Channon

My right hon. Friend has carefully studied the representations made to him. He is satisfied that the settlement made by the previous Government is one that he should not disturb.
