HC Deb 11 June 1975 vol 893 c175W
10. Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on which areas the proposed £50 million cuts in housing capital expenditure will apply to in 1976–77.

Mr. Crosland

I am not yet in a position to make a statement, except to say that the savings will not be found from the housebuilding programme.

27. Mr. Macfarlane

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what recent response he has had from local authorities in answer to his circular requesting a cut in expenditure for the year 1975–76; and if he is satisfied with progress so far.

Mr. Crosland

I hope to be able to give a detailed reply in the very near future.
