§ 79. Mr. O'Halloranasked the Secretary of State for the Environment, in view of the concern many London people feel at being housed in tower blocks, and the fact that these are unpopular dwellings, if he will now make a statement on his policy towards these blocks.
§ Mr. ChannonI accept that families with small children are better housed on the ground, but surveys show that many other families like living in high flats. The problems of living at high density are not exclusive to high flats and we are continuing research into residents' reactions to different types of flats and houses.
