HC Deb 13 May 1952 vol 500 cc105-6W
103. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what further steps have been taken in respect of the need of associating neighbouring housing authorities for the purpose of pooling applications for housing and thus ensuring more equitable consideration of urgent re-housing needs of which at present there may be a larger proportion in one area than another.

Mr. Marples

This is a matter for the local authorities, and according to my right hon. Friend's information there is in some areas close consultation between neighbouring authorities as to the treatment of individual applications

105. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he has records of the national aggregate total of recognised urgent applications for re-housing whose needs have not yet been met.

Mr. Marples

No.
