§ 42. Mr. Fenner Brockwayasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will make special housing allocations in areas where people are still living in huts used by the Army during the war which are becoming increasingly derelict.
§ Mr. SandysI can assure the hon. Member that this factor is always taken into account in considering local authority house-building programmes.
§ Mr. BrockwayHas the Minister yet had time to look at the Report on this matter by the working party from his Department, who describe the appalling conditions under which people are living in huts, how the huts were erected only temporarily during the war, and how they are now becoming derelict? Will he give urgent attention to remedying this situation?
§ Mr. SandysI assure the hon. Member that I fully recognise the seriousness and urgency of this problem.
