HC Deb 24 February 1921 vol 138 c1159W
Mr. G. LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Minister of Health whether certain local authorities have been directed to carry out housing schemes notwithstanding that such local authorities have objected on the grounds that existing housing accommodation is adequate for local requirements?

Dr. ADDISON

There have been very few cases in which I have been unable to accept the view of a local authority that the existing housing accommodation is adequate for local requirements. Where I have differed from them I have only done so after careful inquiry.
