§ 44. Mr. WESTasked the Minister of Health whether he has received a revised programme of building under the Housing Acts for the Royal borough of Kensington; whether his attention has been drawn to a vacant site of 10 acres capable of providing accommodation for Kensington citizens at present living in defective houses; and whether he will consider acquiring this site for houses for his national housing scheme?
§ Mr. GREENWOODNo formal revised programme has yet been submitted from this borough, but I am aware that the question of an extension of their programme is receiving active consideration. My attention has been drawn to the site mentioned by my hon. Friend but there is no power under which I could acquire and utilise that site in the manner suggested in the last part of the question.
