HC Deb 12 October 1944 vol 403 cc1929-30
47. Mr. Astor

asked the Prime Minister whether he will arrange for periodical meetings between London Members and Sir Malcolm Trustram Eve.

Mr. Attlee

Several Ministers are concerned in the repair of houses and the provision of temporary accommodation in London. I have arranged that my right hon. and Noble Friend the Minister of Reconstruction will meet the London Members. He will be accompanied by Sir Malcolm Trustram Eve and by the representatives of other Ministers, as necessary.

Mr. Astor

Will these meetings be repeated at reasonably regular intervals?

Mr. Attlee

That is a matter for consideration. The hon. Member should deal with the Ministers on these matters.

Mrs. Tate

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that many of us have constituents working in London on this bomb damage who are also interested? Could these hon. Members take part also?

Mr. Attlee

It is always open to hon. Members to make arrangements to see Ministers, and Ministers are always willing to see hon. Members. It should not be regarded as a matter which has to be the subject of special arrangement.
