HC Deb 22 November 1934 vol 295 cc233-4
9. Sir FRANCIS FREMANTLE

asked the Minister of Health when he expects to receive the report of Lord Marley's Committee on satellite towns, as promised at the end of July last?

The MINISTER of HEALTH (Sir Hilton Young)

I understand that the Committee anticipate that they will be in a position to present their report; at a very early date.

Sir F. FREMANTLE

Does "a very early date mean that what was promised in July will likely be available before the end of the year?

Sir H. YOUNG

It will be earlier, I hope, than my hon. Friend anticipates.

Sir F. FREMANTLE

Can my right hon. Friend say whether it will be in time for us to consider it in connection with the forthcoming Overcrowding Bill, with which obviously it should be associated?

Sir H. YOUNG

I have no doubt it will be in time.
