36. Mr. ROBINSONasked the Minister of Health the number of housing schemes at present under consideration by his Department; and how many of these have been under consideration for three months or more?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINDecisions applications for approval of proposals under the Housing Acts are given by my Department as soon as possible after their receipt. The number of applicacations outstanding necessarily varies from day to day, but I am not aware of 1348 any which have been under consideration for three months or longer. If the hon Member has any case in mind and will send me particulars I will inquire into it.
