HC Deb 11 July 1928 vol 219 c2232
37. Mr. PONSONBY

asked the Undersecretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether, as applications for tenancy of the Tyler Street huts in Sheffield are now being refused, the demolition of the huts is contemplated in the near future; and, if so, what alternative accommodation it is intended to provide?

Sir V. HENDERSON

The houses at present vacant at Tyler Street have been reserved for tenants who were being transferred from the Tinsley Estate. It is hoped to commence re-letting in the usual way at Tyler Street at an early date. The demolition of the huts at Tyler Street is not at present in contemplation.

Mr. PONSONBY

Can the hon. and gallant Gentleman say when these lettings ceased—when a decision was come to that there should be no lettings on this estate?

Sir V. HENDERSON

No, Sir; I could not give the date without notice.
