§ Mr. W. THORNEasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the Croydon Town Council submitted to his Department a Report on housing; if he is aware that the organised workers of Croydon have protested in a very energetic way against the Report, stating that the Report is false and misleading; and if he will make a statement about the matter?
§ Dr. ADDISONThe answers to the questions raised by the hon. Member are in the affirmative. The Croydon Town Council, as a result of their survey of the needs of their district, estimate that 3,000 Houses are required during the next year, but they have only proposed to provide some 1,650 houses. I propose to press the council to extend their programme.
