HC Deb 05 February 1975 vol 885 c578W
57. Mrs. Millie Miller

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will take steps to encourage local authorities to assist elderly persons wishing to relinquish property which is too large for their requirements, by providing, by conversion or new construction, an increased supply of small units.

Mr. Kaufman

My right hon. Friend will shortly be issuing further advice about making further use of the existing housing stock, and about providing more one-bedroom dwellings, on the sort of lines my hon. Friend mentions.
