§ Mr. Parryasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the recent visit of the Minister for Housing and Construction to Liverpool.
§ Mr. ChannonMy recent visit to Liverpool was the first of a series of visits I am making to a number of large cities outside London. My aim is to discuss, with elected members and officers of the present and future authorities, policy and programmes for tackling older housing, in the light of our White Paper "Better Homes : the Next Priorities". I found my visit to Liverpool encouraging and instructive.
