§ 27. Mr. Glenvil Hallasked the Minister of Health what representations have been made to him by the National Federation of Property Owners urging him to postpone until after the war all
§ demands made by sanitary authorities upon property owners; and what was his reply thereto?
Mr. M. MacDonaldThe representations made to me by the Federation urged that owners of property should be 399 relieved of some of the requirements which local authorities are empowered to make with regard to the carrying out of repairs, etc., to their property. I have informed the Federation that while appreciating the difficulties both of owners and local authorities in this connection, I see no reason to modify the views expressed by my predecessor in his reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Moseley (Sir P. Hannon) on 14th March, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
