HC Deb 01 March 1921 vol 138 c1638W
Sir W. PEARCE

asked the Minister of Health the reasons why the London Housing Board refuse to co-operate with the Stepney Borough Council in acquiring Nos. 1 and 3, Church Row, Limehouse, for housing purposes?

Dr. ADDISON

These premises were found on inspection to be in such a bad state that it would have been wasteful to have acquired them and to have incurred the very heavy expenditure of putting them into proper condition.
