§ 20. Mr. Sargoodasked the Minister of Health whether 148 Mulgrave Road, Sutton, Surrey, has been requisitioned for housing purposes by the local council; whether it is still unoccupied; how long has it been allowed to be unoccupied; and for how long the unoccupied part of 136 Mulgrave Road has remained untenanted.
§ Mr.BevanNo.148 Mulgrave Road is held under requisition for local authority housing and is now occupied by four families. As regards No.136 Mulgrave Road, there is a letting difficulty, and I am communicating with my hon. Friend about it.
§ Mr. SargoodWill my right hon. Friend say how long these requisitioned premises have been allowed to remain unoccupied?
§ Mr. BevanI would ask my hon. Friend to await my communication. Then I think he will find that his supplementary questions are not necessary.
§ 23. Mr. Sargoodasked the Minister of Health why the number of families in the borough of Sutton and Cheam who are in need of housing accommodation is not available.
§ Mr. BevanI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave the hon. Member for Stretford (Mr. Austin) on 20th January, of which I am sending him a copy.
