HC Deb 06 July 1950 vol 477 c622
20. Mr. Wood

asked the Minister of Health whether his regulations permit local authorities to ask for the names of prospective tenants of flats converted under their licence from large houses.

Mr. Bevan

Local authorities, in considering applications for licences to carry out works of conversion, are expected to make such inquiries as they may consider reasonable to ascertain to what extent the converted dwellings would help towards meeting the most urgent housing needs.
