HC Deb 03 April 1935 vol 300 cc361-2
51. Mr. CHORLTON

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the Manchester Corporation is recommended by the committees concerned not to use the slum-clearance areas in Collyhurst for rehousing; and what steps he proposes to take to protect the interests of those concerned who wish to live in the locality and also the non-provided schools and their loss of grant?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

My right hon. Friend's information does not agree with that of my hon. Friend. My right hon. Friend had just given general approval to the proposals of the town council for rehousing in blocks of flats on the Collyhurst site, and tenders for the erection of the first section of the work are about to be obtained. The second part of the question does not therefore arise.
