Mr. T. THOMSONasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the delay in announcing the Government's housing policy is deterring local authorities and others from entering upon fresh building operations; and will he submit his housing proposals to Parliament as soon as possible?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYThe figures of unemployment in the building trade do not bear out the suggestion in the first part of the hon. Member's question. I hope to be able to place the proposals of the Government before the House at a very early date.
§ Sir K. WOODasked the Minister of Health whether he has now come to any agreement with the local authorities and the building trade, respectively, in relation to the housing proposals of the Government?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYI propose to make a. full statement on this matter when placing the proposals of the Government before the House.
