35. Mr. Geoffrey Wilsonasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of his answer on 17th November, 1949, and the progress made by the Truro Rural District Council towards the completion of their building programme, he will now make an allocation of houses for 1950 to that authority in addition to the eight already allocated.
Mr. Be vanA further allocation would not be justified at present in view of the work still outstanding on 60 houses now under construction and 14 houses approved but not yet started.
Mr. WilsonDoes the right hon. Gentleman appreciate that there are still six months to go until the end of 1950? Has he not received information from the council that they are well advanced with their building programme?
§ Mr. BevanThey have been allocated houses which have not yet been started. Let them get on with those which have been approved to be built and we will look at the situation again.
