HC Deb 03 December 1931 vol 260 cc1238-9
43. Mr. J. JONES

asked the Minister of Health if he will give to the latest convenient date the number of appeals against the execution of works notices issued by local authorities under the Housing Act, 1930; and, the number that have been confirmed, quashed, or varied by order of the county court?

52. Mr. D. M. ADAMS

asked the Minister of Health how many appeals against the execution of works notices issued by local authorities under the Housing Act, 1930, have been confirmed, quashed, and varied, respectively, by county court justices?

Sir H. YOUNG

The Housing Act, 1930, came into operation on the 15th August, 1930, and I am informed that between that date and the 31st December, 1930, the latest date for which figures are available, 11 appeals were entered under Section 22 of the Act. Of these five were withdrawn or otherwise disposed of and six were pending on the 31st December.

Colonel CROOKSHANK

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider any measure for dealing with city and urban areas on the lines of the Rural Housing Act?

Sir H. YOUNG

I think I should certainly have notice of that question.
