HC Deb 05 November 1936 vol 317 cc227-8
30. Mr. DAVID ADAMS

asked the Minister of Health the names of any local authorities in England and Wales which have passed resolutions declaring areas to be proposed re-development areas under the provisions of Section 13 of the Housing Act, 1935; and whether any schemes for such areas are now going forward?

Sir K. WOOD

Resolutions declaring areas to be proposed re-development areas have been passed by the borough councils of Liverpool, Norwich, Lowestoft, Bangor and Croydon and by the urban district council of Brierley Hill. Inquiries have been held in the case of Liverpool and Norwich and the reports of the inspectors are under consideration. In the other cases procedure has not yet reached the stage at which an inquiry can be directed.

Sir JOSEPH NALL

Have the Manchester City Council recently submitted any scheme of the kind?

Sir K. WOOD

I will inquire.
