43. Colonel BURNasked the Minister of Health if he will consider the handing over of Army huts for temporary use by families who are practically homeless, to tide over the time that must elapse before the new houses are ready for occupation?
§ Dr. ADDISONArrangements were made so long ago as last September to enable local authorities to acquire Army huts for temporary housing purposes, and steps have been taken to bring this method of making temporary provision prominently before local authorities. Huts and hostels have been thus acquired for conversion which provide accommodation for over 3,000 families.
