§ 44. Mr. LEONARD LYLEasked the Minister of Health whether he has issued instructions that all houses to whose erection State assistance has contributed shall be offered to British subjects; and, if not, whether he will take steps to convey this recommendation to all the local authorities concerned?
§ Dr. ADDISONThe selection of tenants for their houses is left to the discretion of the local authorities, but I have issued suggestions in the matter, 430 and I think that local authorities generally are giving the first preference amongst the applicants to ex-service men with families.
§ Mr. LYLEDoes the right hon. Gentleman not think it is most unsatisfactory that ex-service men and women should be without houses while in many cases most undesirable aliens should have houses?
§ Dr. ADDISONI think it is undesirable.
