§ Mr. O'Halloranasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy with regard to the better type of prefabricated bungalows built by local authorities prior to 1945.
§ Mr. ChannonLocal authorities are responsible for the upkeep and management of bungalows provided under the Housing (Temporary Accommodation) Act, 1944. It is for them to decide whether remaining bungalows can still meet a need, satisfactorily and economically. When this is no longer the case or when the site is needed for other purposes my right hon. Friend is prepared to give his consent to removal of bungalows where this is required by the Act.
