§ 85. Sir P. Hannonasked the Minister of Health whether he is now satisfied with the progress of housing in Birmingham; if housing sites acquired by the local authority are being made readily available; and if all misunderstanding between the Ministry of Works and the Public Works Committee has been removed.
§ Mr. KeyMy right hon. Friend is satisfied that in general very good progress is being made in Birmingham having regard to present difficulties, though he hopes the local authority and Government Departments concerned may together be able to devise ways of achieving even faster progress. My right hon. Friend would be glad to see still more sites for temporary houses handed over to the Ministry of Works. He does not think there are now any misunderstandings.
