HC Deb 25 July 1979 vol 971 cc321-2W
58. Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy on the provision of local authority housing in villages where private housing demand is high and planning constraints limit further building.

Mr. Stanley

It is for local housing authorities to decide whether to seek loan sanction to build council houses and, subject to compliance with planning and other requirements, where to build them.
