HC Deb 24 July 1934 vol 292 c1651
54. Captain FULLER

asked the Minister of Health when the slum clearance order for the West Gorton division of Manchester will be confirmed?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

My right hon. Friend's decision will be given as soon as possible, but some time must necessarily be taken in the consideration of this scheme; it is exceptionally large and the local inquiry occupied more than five weeks.

Captain FULLER

Is it likely to be confirmed before the House reassembles in the autumn?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

I cannot promise that.

Captain FULLER

I ask in view of the fact that it is a small scheme and not a large one as the hon. Gentleman stated?

Mr. CHORLTON

Is not the hon. Gentleman referring to the Collyhurst scheme, and is that not to be decided first?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

The scheme mentioned in the question will be dealt with as quickly as possible.
