§ 80. Sir WALTER de FRECEasked the Minister of Health if, under the Housing (No. 2) Bill, the would-be builders of small houses have any appeal to the Ministry when their own local authorities show a disinclination to operate the provisions of the Measure affecting private enterprise?
§ Lord E. PERCYNo, Sir. But my hon. Friend will observe that the Bill provides that where a local authority proposes to build houses themselves they must satisfy the Minister that the needs of their area can best be met in this way.
§ Sir W. de FRECEWill the Noble Lord issue for general information a detailed guide as to the procedure to be adopted when these cases arise?
§ Lord E. PERCYMy right hon. Friend will consider that point.
