HC Deb 02 March 1944 vol 397 c1569
40. Mr. J. J. Davidson

asked the Minister of Health whether his Housing Sub-Committee have now fully examined the plan submitted to him by Mr. Harold Elliott; and has he any statement to make.

Mr. Willink

The answer to the first part of the Question is "Yes, Sir." As regards the second part, any comments the Private Enterprise Sub-Committee of my Central Housing Advisory Committee wish to make will be contained in their report reviewing all the various proposals, and until their report is received and bas been considered, I am obviously not in a position to make a statement.

Mr. Davidson

As this Report was submitted by a building expert in response to a Government appeal, and, having been in the hands of the Minister for a considerable time and having also been examined by the Sub-Committee, will the right hon. and learned Gentleman make some statement to this expert, who so readily responded to the appeal?

Mr. Willink

I feel it only right to await the Report of the Sub-Committee in question.

Mr. Davidson

Can I take it that the scheme is receiving full consideration in all its aspects?

Mr. Willink

If my hon. Friend will refer to my original answer, he will find that that is the case.
