HC Deb 18 June 1924 vol 174 c2143W
Mr. T. THOMSON

asked the Minister of Health if he will take powers in his Housing Bill to restore to local authorities their right of preventing the demolition of existing dwelling-houses or their conversion into premises for other uses so long as the shortage of houses continues?

Mr. WHEATLEY

I do not propose to deal with this matter in the present Housing Bill.
