HC Deb 09 December 1948 vol 459 cc74-5W
72. Brigadier Medlicott

asked the Minister of Health if he will encourage local authorities when allocating new council houses to allocate as many as possible to families who are temporarily housed, so as to prevent occupants of such temporary houses from feeling that their occupation of such accommodation is being prolonged indefinitely.

Mr. Bevan

I have asked the Central Housing Advisory Committee to consider what further advice should be given to local authorities on the allocation of their housing accommodation.
