HC Deb 31 December 1916 vol 88 c1642
94. Mr. O'GRADY

asked the Secretary to the Local Government Board whether he has received a resolution from the Avon-mouth and Shirehampton Householders' Association, Bristol area, calling attention to the need of housing, and requesting that the Town Planning Act should be applied to meet the need; and whether, having regard to the necessity of a large number of workpeople living within easy reach of the docks, steps will be taken to meet the request of the association?

Mr. BECK (for Mr. Hayes Fisher)

I understand that the Local Government Board have not received any such resolution, but that it is proposed to send one of the inspectors of the Department to Bristol at an early date to make some further investigation into the housing question.
