HC Deb 05 July 1944 vol 401 c1170W
Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Health how many local authorities are involved in the 6o groups which have been selected for the advance preparation of post-war housing sites.

Mr. Willink

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave him on this subject on z9th June, to which I am unable to add at present.

Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Health whether he has freed, or will free, any local authorities now desiring to prepare their post-war housing sites from any former commitments into which they may have voluntarily entered under Circular 14/44.

Mr. Willink

No, Sir. Local authorities have not been required under this scheme to enter into commitments to my Department, and I am not in a position to free them from commitments into which they may voluntarily have entered.
