HC Deb 10 May 1933 vol 277 cc1531-2
47. Mr. TEMPLE MORRIS

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware of the existence of bullion shops in several towns where gold and precious metals are purchased without the vendors being properly in-

rities in respect of working-class houses; and whether he will give an assurance that the progress of building in these districts will not be arrested?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Mr. Shakespeare)

My right hon. Friend has seen the resolutions, which follow a familiar form and have no special relation to the housing conditions in the districts named. My right hon. Friend knows of no reason why the progress of building in these districts should be arrested.
