§ 77. Mr. Brayasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking to encourage private enterprise house building in new towns.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerI am discussing with development corporations and the Commission for the New Towns measures designed to give private house builders greater freedom in new towns. This should enable them to make the maximum contribution to new town development that market conditions permit. I am delighted that many existing tenants of new towns are contemplating purchasing their homes.
