HC Deb 13 October 1976 vol 917 c115W
28. Mr. Heffer

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in his discussions with local authorities on Merseyside, he gave a pledge that all the money required would be available to build houses for rent, in view of the fact that Liverpool alone has 22,000 on the housing waiting list and 40,000 if slum clearance is added.

Mr. Shore

The City of Liverpool has been listed as a stress area, as my right hon. Friend told the House on 5th August, and the council knows that my objective is to safeguard its housing programme.—[Vol. 916, c. 984–6.]
