Will the Chancellor please go to Lancaster City itself and while there take a look at the Housing Corporation project for building 240 houses at Scale Hall Farm, on which £500,000 has already been spent on infrastructure, roads and services but on which his colleague at the Department of the Environment has now forbidden work to proceed? Will he then return and convince his right hon. Friend that this plan must go ahead if a lot of public money is not to be wasted and great hardship caused?
