HC Deb 23 March 1920 vol 127 c256
81. Mr. HALLAS

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that, while no houses are being built by the Tottenham Urban District Council, a private company is being permitted to build a large cinema in Bruce Grove, which is in the area of that Council; and whether he will use his influence to induce that Council to employ their powers under Section 5 of the Housing (Additional Powers) Act, 1919, for the purpose of suspending the erection of the said cinema so that the labour and material there in use can be set free for housing purposes?

Lieut.-Colonel STANLEY (Comptroller of the Household)

I have been in communication with the district council, and will, as soon as I am able, communicate with my hon. Friend on the subject.
