HC Deb 14 May 1973 vol 856 c251W
Dr. Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment by what criteria he proposes to determine which areas are stress areas in need of special measures for the provision of local authority housing.

Mr. Channon

I cannot as yet add to paragraph 51 of the White Paper "Widening the Choice: the Next Steps in Housing ". This announced that the Government would be bringing forward proposals for special measures to deal comprehensively with the housing problems of those areas suffering from the greatest degree of stress.
