HC Deb 03 March 1970 vol 797 cc58-9W
58. Mr. James Johnson

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what further discussions he has had with the Kingston-upon-Hull City Council about their building programme; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeson

I visited Hull on 2nd February to discuss with members a the council the need for a bigger house-building programme. The Department are following up this meeting with further discussions at officer level, which I hope will result in bigger programmes for slum clearance, new building and modernisation of sub-standard houses.
