HC Deb 07 June 1945 vol 411 c1105W
Mr. E. Granville

asked the Minister of Health if he is in a position to discuss the immediate building and repair of agricultural cottages for East Suffolk where the shortage is creating a danger of overcrowding in the villages.

Mr. Willink

The local authorities in East Suffolk, in common with those in other areas, have been told that I am willing to consider applications for permission to invite tenders for the erection of houses as and when sites became ready. There is and has been no ban on the carrying out of essential repairs to agricultural cottages where the necessary labour is available.
