HC Deb 17 November 1959 vol 613 cc101-2W
59. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs which local authorities make provision for meeting the housing needs of ex- Regular Service men and their families after their term of Service ends, in conformity to the standards and proportions recommended by his department.

Mr. H. Brooke

Local authorities were recommended in 1955 to consider any application from a Regular ex-Service man who has found work in the district, or has family connections with it, exclusively on the basis of need and without regard to length of residence in the locality.

This recommendation is now followed by practically all local authorities.
