§ 61. Major ENTWISTLEasked the Minister of Health whether he has received a communication from the city council of Hull enclosing a resolution of the housing sub-committee calling attention to the continuous delays, the alterations of instructions by the Government officials administering the Housing Acts, and the apparent overlapping in the Departments, and the great difficulties of those local authorities who are using their utmost endeavours to provide houses speedily; and whether he will have inquiries made into the same and take strong and immediate action to ensure the officials working in closer co-operation with local authorities and otherwise remedying the present serious state of affairs?
§ Dr. ADDISONI have received the communication referred to, and I am causing inquiries to be made, but it must not be assumed that I accept the statements made by the committee.
