HC Deb 09 July 1924 vol 175 c2277W
Mr. LUMLEY

asked the Minister of Health why he has refused sanction to the rehousing scheme submitted by the corporation of Kingston-upon-Hull?

Mr. WHEATLEY

The scheme referred to has not been rejected, but the question whether the proposals of the council are the best that can be adopted for facilitating the carrying out of the approved scheme for the clearance of the New George Street unhealthy area has formed the subject of discussions between the Department and the council. I hope to be in a position to give a decision at an early date.
