HC Deb 25 May 1933 vol 278 cc1252-3
9. Mr. HEPWORTH

asked the Minister of Health whether any of the housing authorities in Yorkshire have yet submitted their slum clearance scheme; and, if so, whether he can give details?

The MINISTER of HEALTH (Sir Hilton Young)

No slum clearance scheme has reached me yet from any housing authority in Yorkshire in response to the request which I made on 6th April. The request was for the submission of schemes not later than the end of September; so that no inference should be based upon the fact that schemes have not yet reached me.

10. Mr. HEPWORTH

asked the Minister of Health whether any local autho- rities in Yorkshire have, Since the suspension of housing subsidies, constructed houses without subsidy; and, if so, whether he can give details?

Sir H. YOUNG

No such houses have been actually built, but the Shelf Urban District Council has been authorised to build 16 three-bedroomed non-parlour type houses.
