30. Lieut.-Colonel Hutchisonasked the Minister of Health what practical steps he is taking to give priority in housing accommodation to ex-Servicemen.
§ Mr. BevanI would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Oxford (Mr. Hogg) on 25th October. I am sending him a copy of the circular to which I then referred.
§ Mr. KeelingWould the Minister publish in the Official Report a list of the authorities who give priority, and of those who do not give priority, to ex-Service-men and to the families of Servicemen?
§ Mr. BevanThat question is irrelevant to the Question on the Order Paper. The local authorities are supposed to take note of the over-all needs of an applicant, and to that I hope they will adhere. Otherwise, grave injustice will arise.
