§ 57. Mr. E. D. SIMONasked the Minister of Health whether he is now in a position to announce the result of his inquiry into the burden of paving charges on owner-occupiers of new houses; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI regret that this investigation has not yet reached a stage at which definite results can be announced. I may say that some notes on the subject of private street charges appeared in the last Annual Report of the Ministry and further notes will be inserted in the forthcoming Report.
§ Mr. GREENWOODI cannot take action until the problem has been thoroughly explored by the local authorities. That is what they are doing now.
