HC Deb 11 March 1952 vol 497 c125W
103. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many local authorities have applied to him for permission to purchase or requisition under-occupied dwellings for the purpose of rehousing the occupants in smaller houses and replacing them with tenants from the local authority housing lists; how many houses were involved; and in how many cases was permission granted.

Mr. Marples

My right hon. Friend's Ministry knows of no such case.
