§ 39. Mr. EDEasked the Minister of Health the reason no houses have been commenced for the County Borough of South Shields by the Housing Association; and whether he will press the association to commence building forthwith?
§ Sir K. WOODI am informed that a tender for the erection of 468 houses in South Shields was accepted, but that on further consideration the contractors asked to be released from the contract and that this has occasioned some delay.
§ Mr. EDEIs the right hon. Gentleman confident that no undue delay will occur, in view of the urgent need of houses?
§ Sir K. WOODI am sure that the association will do all they can in the matter.
Miss WARDHave the Socialist party now withdrawn their opposition to using the advantages offered by the North-East Coast Housing Association?
