15. Air-Commodore Harvey

asked the Minister of Health when the 50 temporary Tarran-type houses will be delivered for erection at the Astbury Road site, Congleton.

Mr. Bevan

It is hoped that delivery of the Terran houses to this site will begin next month.

Air- Commodore Harvey

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the site for these houses was completed last July, and that tenants were selected and were supposed to be in occupation by last December? Is he further aware that the council were informed last week that the houses would be delivered in five months' time?

Mr. Bevan
