§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Minister of Health whether, in accordance with the recommendations of the Newton Committee on Smoke Abatement, he will consider the advisability of instructing the Central Housing Authority to reject any housing scheme submitted by a local authority or public utility society which fails to make, where practicable, specific provision in the plans for the adoption of smokeless methods for the supply of heat on the lines laid down in the Committee's interim Report?
§ Mr. NEVILLE CHAMBERLAINMuch is being done in providing, smokeless methods of heating in housing schemes, but, with so urgent a need for new houses, I am not prepared to make smokeless methods an essential condition of financial assistance.
