§ 83. Mr. ALBERYasked the Minister of Health whether he can now report any accelerated progress in slum clearance?
§ The MINISTER of HEALTH (Mr. Arthur Greenwood)No, Sir, since time must obviously be allowed to local authorities to formulate their proposals under an Act which became law as recently as August last.
§ Mr. ALBERYDoes the right hon. Gentleman mean that no accelerated progress has taken place since this Government has been in office?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThat was not the question that was put to me.
§ Captain GUNSTONAre we to understand, from the right hon. Gentleman's answer, that he is very disappointed with the working of the Slum Clearance Bill?
