HC Deb 23 April 1929 vol 227 cc695-6
42. Mr. NAYLOR

asked the Minister of Health whether he has had submitted to him the plans for clearance and rebuilding in the neighbourhood of East Street, King and Queen Street, and Browning Street, Southwark; if so, whether he is satisfied that adequate arrangements are being made for the accommodation of the families to be displaced pending the completion of the scheme; and whether he will take steps to secure that the families now living in the district shall have preference as tenants of the new houses?

Sir K. WOOD

I understand that the London County Council have decided to make an improvement scheme in respect of the area referred to by the hon. Member, but no scheme has yet been submitted to my right hon. Friend.

Mr. NAYLOR

Will the right hon. Gentleman make inquiries as to the cause of the delay?

Sir K. WOOD

I will if the hon. Gentleman desires it. Perhaps he will let me know the exact particulars.
