The Conservative Party, Conservative Party General Election Manifesto, 1951, p. 15: “Housing is the first of the social services. It is also one of the keys to increased productivity. Work, family life, health and education are all undermined by overcrowded homes”. Conservative Central Office, Fair Share on Housing, 1954, p. 15: “Help for those who need it, but not for those who don't […] that is why subsidies for new houses are to be cut”.
The Housing Repairs and Rent Act, 1954, started to remove rent control in the private sector and instructed local authorities to deal with slum areas; the 1956 Housing Subsidies Act enabled local authorities to operate differentiated rent schemes and reduced general needs subsidies.
