HC Deb 09 March 1933 vol 275 c1331
31. Mr. WALTER REA (for Mr. HARCOURT JOHNSTONE)

asked the Minister of Health how many improvement areas have been scheduled by local authorities since the passing of the Housing Act of 1930; and what period has generally elapsed since the passing of the local authority's resolution to the confirmation of the improvement order?

Sir H. YOUNG

Resolutions have been passed by 15 local authorities declaring 25 areas to be improvement areas. Such a declaration does not require confirmation by me and the latter part of the question therefore does not arise.
