§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Wales if there is a restriction on his Department's consent for the issuing of rehabilitation orders, under Section 114 of the Housing Act 1974, whereby they will not be granted in circumstances where several adjacent houses subject to a clearance order are to be rehabilitated; but in so doing provide a reduced number of habitable units.
§ Mr. John MorrisI am advised that the provisions of Section 114 apply to individual houses; it would be for the local authority to satisfy itself whether584W any rehabilitation scheme which involved the amalgamation of two or more houses to make one acceptable unit satisfied the requirements of the section.
