§ 50. Mr. GLOSSOP(for Mr. HUTCHISON) asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider suggesting to the local authorities concerned that where they carry out housing schemes in the area of other local authorities, thus throwing on the latter the expenses of local charges, they should afford to residents in the other districts the opportunity of applying for some percentage of the houses thus constructed?
Sir H. YOUNGWhile I am prepared to consider any proposal made by local 698 authorities concerned to enter into an agreement on the lines suggested in the question, I could not suggest to local authorities the undertaking of expenditure which is not required by the circumstances of the area actively under their administration.
