§ 21. Sir Leonard Lyleasked the Minister of Health, in view of the statement in circular 49/44, that all war damage repairs should be completed, so far as practicable, by local authorities by the end of the current year, what approximate estimate exists of the houses which will be thus dealt with.
§ Mr. WillinkI have asked local authorities to furnish estimates of the work. When I receive these estimates, the preparation of which will involve a considerable amount of surveying in some areas, I will communicate with my hon. Friend.
§ Lieut.-Colonel DowerWill my right hon. and learned Friend give instructions 2069 to the local authorities to grant more readily and more speedily these certificates so that many other houses can be repaired as well?
§ Mr. WillinkI will take note of what my hon. and gallant Friend says.
