§ 53. Mr. SAVERYasked the Minister of Health whether he is prepared to bring in a Bill to amend the Housing Act, 1925, so as to grant just compensation for disturbance to holders of business property in what are known as unhealthy areas?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe whole subject of slum improvement is receiving my immediate consideration, but I am not yet in a position to state when it will be possible to bring in legislation.
§ Mr. WELLSIs it not the case that the present injustice of the Act is holding up the clearance of slum areas?
§ Mr. GROTRIANHas the right hon. Gentleman forgotten that he was chairman of a Committee which recommended that something should be done in this matter?
