HC Deb 17 November 1927 vol 210 c1110
36. Mr. DALTON

asked the Minister of Health whether he would be prepared to introduce legislation to give facilities to house owners to enter adjoining property in order to carry out the repair of their own property, provided that proper notice was given to adjacent owners and that any damage caused to the latter was made good; and whether he is aware that the present state of the law inflicts hardship in many cases and hinders the keeping of property in good repair?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I am not aware that the present state of the law causes such difficulty and hardship as is suggested, and, as at present advised, I should not be prepared to introduce legislation on the subject. If the hon. Member has any special class of case in mind, perhaps he would send me particulars.
