§ 24. Sir ADRIAN BAILLIEasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the erection by local authorities of private dwelling-houses, either without flues or with a type of flue that precludes the use of coal or other solid fuel; and whether he will take steps to prevent the further construction of houses on lines which limit ventilation and restrict the tenants' choice of fuel?
Sir H. YOUNGI have received certain representations to the effect suggested in the first part of the question.
1237 I am not generally prepared to approve of the erection by local authorities of houses in which a coal fire cannot be used in at least one room.
§ Sir A. BAILLIEMay I ask what steps the right hon. Gentleman has taken or proposes to take to see that the local authorities comply with the requirements in this respect?
