HC Deb 29 January 1931 vol 247 cc1173-4W
Mr. McELWEE

asked the Minister of Health whether he will introduce legislation to enable tenants to be provided with alternative accommodation in all cases where houses are condemned and where a closing order has been obtained?

Mr. GREENWOOD

Under the Act of 1930 local authorities are given special financial assistance towards the provision of houses in the place of houses con- demned and demolished by action of the authority, and I do not think that any such alteration in the law as my hon. Friend has in mind is required.
