HC Deb 06 July 1950 vol 477 cc626-7
36. Mr. Joynson-Hicks

asked the Minister of Health what were the allocations of houses which the Chichester Rural District Council were entitled to build in 1949 and 1950 respectively; and how long it is estimated under the present allocations it will take to meet the housing needs of the community in that area.

Mr. Bevan

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Salford, East (Mr. Hardy) on 28th April, of which I am sending him a copy.

Mr. Joynson-Hicks

With respect has the right hon. Gentleman answered the right Question?

Mr. Bevan

I have answered Question No. 36.

Mr. Joynson-Hicks

Will the right hon. Gentleman say why he replied to the hon. Member for Salford, East (Mr. Hardy) about the number of housing allocations in Chichester?

Mr. Bevan

I said that I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Salford, East (Mr. Hardy) on 29th April, of which I am sending him a copy.

Mr. Joynson-Hicks

In view of the fact that the answer to which the right hon. Gentleman has referred can have no bearing on the question at all, will he now reply to the Question?

Mr. Bevan

I suggest that the hon. Member reads the answer to the hon. Member for Salford, East. first.
