HC Deb 03 February 1971 vol 810 c372W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he intends to have consultations with the new town development corporations on the question of the reduction of housing subsidies.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Consultations with the development corporations on the Government's proposals have already begun. As I have repeatedly indicated to the hon. Gentleman and others, these proposals are not intended to reduce subsidies but to redirect them.
