HC Deb 08 March 1928 vol 214 cc1215-6
51. Mr. SHORT

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the recent visit of an inspector to investigate the housing conditions at Moxley, Wednesbury, any action is contemplated; and, if so, of what nature?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I understand that the area at Old Moxley, to which the hon. Member refers, is under the consideration of the town council of Wednesbury. I may add that a scheme under Part II of the Housing Act, 1925, involving the rehousing of 56 persons has recently been submitted by the town council and also a scheme for the erection of 80 houses by the council at Mesty Croft.

Mr. SHORT

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether he has given his sanction?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The sanction has not been given yet.
