§ 53. Sir J. Langford-Holtasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government why no rural authority is represented on the Standards of Housing Fitness Sub-Committee to the Central Housing Advisory Committee; and whether, in view of the special difficulties experienced in rural areas over house modernisation, he will cause such an appointment to be made.
§ Mr. MellishThe Committee invited members to serve on the Sub-Committee for the contribution they could make to its task rather than to represent particular interests. My right hon. Friend is sure this is right. The Sub-Committee is, however, fully aware of the importance of rural problems and will be visiting the hon. Member's constituency to see them at first hand.
