HC Deb 06 November 1930 vol 244 c1076W
Mr. DAY

asked the Minister of Health whether he can give particulars of any proposals which have recently been adopted in the inner areas of London for the erection of dwellings for persons who must reside near their place of employment; and has his attention been drawn to any cases where restrictions are placed on the application form to the effect that persons with children are not accepted?

Mr. GREENWOOD

Proposals of the London County Council for the erection of 2,741 dwellings on sites in central areas of London for persons obliged to reside in reasonable proximity to their place of employment have been approved by my Department. In addition 594 houses are being built by Metropolitan borough councils, and 110 by subsidised private enterprise. I am not aware that any restriction to the effect mentioned in the latter part of the question is imposed.
