HC Deb 06 December 1934 vol 295 c1810
24. Mr. FLEMING

asked the Minister of Health whether plans for rehousing tenants on the sites of cleared slum areas have been laid before the Ministry by the Manchester City Corporation?

Sir H. YOUNG

No, Sir. The sites of the Collyhurst and West Gorton clearance areas will be used for rehousing, but I have not yet received any specific proposals.

Mr. FLEMING

Is my right hon. Friend aware that dispossessed tenants from cleared sites are going into near-by areas and thereby creating new slums?

Captain FULLER

Will my right hon. Friend say whether it is proposed to erect tenements, flats, or houses on the cleared sites?

Sir H. YOUNG

I cannot give that information until I see the proposals of the urban authorities.
