§ 67. Mr. THURTLEasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the serious shortage of housing accommodation already existing in the East End of London and other urban areas; and, having regard to the fact that this shortage cannot be remedied for some considerable time, is he prepared to take steps, by means of legislation if necessary, to prevent the shortage of accommodation being made more acute through the conversion of dwelling-houses into factories and workshops?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYI will give this matter my consideration, but I cannot undertake to introduce legislation dealing with it this Session.
