§ 63. Mr. SMEDLEY CROOKEasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the successful voluntary work of the women welfare workers appointed by the estates committee of the Birmingham City Council in helping the poor tenants who are being re-housed under the slum-clearance scheme; and will he consider the advisability of suggesting that other housing authorities should try the Birmingham experiment?
§ Mr. R. S. HUDSONMy right hon. Friend is aware of the system of house property management in operation in the City of Birmingham. The general question of the management of housing estates by local authorities is at present being considered by a sub-committee of the Central Housing Advisory Committee. On receipt of their views my right hon. Friend will consider whether it is desirable for him to make suggestions to local authorities on this question.
