HC Deb 23 July 1934 vol 292 cc1536-7
39. Mr. GORDON MACDONALD

asked the Minister of Health whether he has now received a final report from the general inspector of the district regarding the action of the Colne Town Council in evicting people from houses in the Windybany area of the Colne slum- clearance scheme without providing alternative accommodation; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

The general inspector continues to keep my right hon. Friend in touch with and to inform him of the proceedings of the council. The council is the responsible authority and my right hon. Friend does not contemplate further action.
