HC Deb 23 November 1933 vol 283 c245
20. Major NATHAN

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the shortage of working-class dwellings at cheap rents in the Greater London region, he will consider the issue of a special circular to the local authorities concerned encouraging them to promote, wherever necessary, the formation of public utility societies under Section 70 of the Housing Act, 1925?

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

As the hon. Member is doubtless aware, the extension of the activities of public utility societies was one of the questions considered by the Moyne Committee, whose report is now receiving my right hon. Friend's consideration. He will bear the hon. Member's suggestion in mind.
