HC Deb 12 March 1924 vol 170 c2334
94. Mr. VIVIAN

asked the Minister of Health whether he can see his way to take the necessary steps to secure that the present powers conferred on local authorities to enforce the demolition of dangerous buildings should be extended to include unsightly buildings which have fallen into decay and which constitute an annoyance to the neighbourhood, and that powers should be conferred enabling such buildings to be reduced to the ground level or to have the same effectively screened to the satisfaction of the local authority?

Mr. WHEATLEY

A note will be taken of the hon. Member's suggestion, but I cannot promise to introduce legislation at the present time.
