HC Deb 01 February 1944 vol 396 c1142W
Mr. Reakes

asked the Minister of Health whether he will make it clear to municipal authorities contemplating development schemes of a luxury type that priority alone will be given to housing, rehousing and particularly problems affecting bombed areas.

Miss Horsbrugh

I can certainly assure my hon. Friend that any scheme submitted by a local authority will be considered in the light of the Government's decision that housing should be given the highest level of priority in post-war reconstruction.
