HC Deb 06 April 1970 vol 799 c29W
Mr. John Lee

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will seek powers to compel local authorities to accommodate problem families so as to ensure that these are not concentrated in particular areas or streets.

Mr. Freeson

I do not think that the desirable objective which my hon. Friend seeks is best achieved by statutory powers being sought by my right hon. Friend the Minister.
