§ Mr. G. Robertsasked the Minister of Health if he will make fuller use of his powers to compel local authorities to requisition houses which remain empty for more than a given period, so that accommodation may be provided for families with no homes of their own.
§ Mr. BevanI am satisfied that local authorities generally make wide use of requisitioning to ensure the proper use of vacant houses. If, however, my hon. Friend has a particular case in mind and will let me have details, I will look into it.
