HC Deb 14 May 1924 vol 173 c1381W
Mr. MACKINDER

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that there, are 10 evictions pending in Bradford, where eviction orders have already been granted; that representations have been made to the chairman of the health committee asking that certain cottage property owned by the Bradford Corporation should be made habitable in order to house these families; and will he inquire into the matter with a view to the provision of suitable accommodation for these families before the evictions are carried out?

Mr. WHEATLEY

My attention has been called to the- fact mentioned in the first part of the question. I have made inquiries with regard to the proposal referred to in the second part of the question, and understand that the property is unfit for habitation, and that it would not, in the opinion of the local authority, be wise to adopt the course suggested.
