§ Colonel Stoddart-Scottasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that Mr. J. W. Kelly, of Layton Lane, Rawdon, who served over three years abroad during the war, and whose wife is a teacher, will become homeless on 3rd June; why Mr. Kelly has been refused a licence to build a house although the plans have been passed by the Aire-borough Urban District Council and the builder concerned has the men and the materials and has already built his quota of houses to let; and if he will reconsider his decision.
§ Mr. BevanI am aware of the circumstances in this case. Licences can at present be granted only in the priority cases mentioned in the circular of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy and I am unable to alter my decision.
