HC Deb 07 December 1950 vol 482 c517
33. Mr. Sidney Marshall

asked the Minister of Health what amount was licensed to be spent on the rebuilding of 20 Cedars Road, Clapham, S.W.4.

Mr. Bevan

So far as I am aware this house was not destroyed, so that no question of rebuilding has arisen.

Mr. Marshall

Is the Minister aware that a considerable amount of bomb damage was suffered by this building and that a considerable amount of money has been spent on reconstruction up to roof level? This is a building which could house many families; it has been allowed to remain derelict for several years and is fast falling into decay.

Mr. Bevan

I thought that the hon. Gentleman was concerned with repairs, and so I armed myself with information about them. I understand that licences to the value of £303 have been issued. I will make further inquiries into what the hon. Gentleman has said.
