HC Deb 04 August 1925 vol 187 cc1154-5
53. Mr. ALBERY

asked the Minister of Health if he can yet make any statement with regard to the Government intention to promote legislation at an early date dealing with the removal of slum property?

Sir K. WOOD

No, Sir, my right hon. Friend is not yet in a position to make an announcement on this subject.

Mr. HOPKINSON

Will the hon. Member inform us what is the best way of going about the clearing of slums?

Sir K. WOOD

I would like to consult with my hon. Friend on that subject.

Major HORE-BELISHA

Does the hon. Gentleman recollect the Prime Minister saying that he was going to cut his way through the jungle of vested interests? Has that process yet begun?

Sir K. WOOD

Yes, and it is being continued.
