HC Deb 24 October 1972 vol 843 c254W
65. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is aware that his policies produced excessive profits for many individuals in the past year as the direct result of the increase in house prices alone; and if he will reconsider these policies, and make a statement.

Mr. Amery

The Government's policies have created conditions in which a steadily growing number of people have been able to become owner occupiers. The present main need is further to increase the supply of new housing.
