§ 43. Mr. Alpassasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that there are many residences in the country containing considerable living accommodation which, at present, is not used; and whether he will instruct local authorities to use their powers to make this accommodation available for those at present in need.
§ Mr. BevanI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Stafford (Captain Swingler) on 16th November.
§ Mr. AlpassIs the Minister aware that within the shadow of one of these great residences in my constituency there is a family, absolutely unable to obtain accommodation, which is threatened with eviction, and will he cause inquiries to be made and appropriate action taken to prevent this injustice?
§ Mr. BevanIf my hon. Friend will bring the case he mentions to my attention, I will have it investigated. There are probably a number of instances of the same kind.
