46. Mr. Garry Alliģhanasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the changed circumstances occasioned by the additional Departmental responsibilities associated with the National Health Scheme, he will now consider relieving the Ministry of Health of the task of directing the national housing campaign and creating a Ministry of Housing, armed with overriding authority, to coordinate the relevant work of all Departments concerned.
§ The Prime MinisterNo, Sir.
Mr. AlliģhanIs the Prime Minister completely satisfied that the Minister has sufficient powers to insist on other Ministries keeping up with the rather rapid rate of progress in housing?
§ The Prime MinisterThere is full cooperation between the Ministries.
§ Mr. SpenceMay I ask the Prime Minister whether he is aware that he has a mandate for making this change?
