§ Sir H. JACKSONasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that after orders have been made by him confirming schemes for the demolition of houses in alleged unhealthy areas in London, district surveyors and borough councils have insisted on the rebuilding of walls, new drains, and other expensive works, 1300W without any regard to such orders, thus causing heavy compulsory expenditure by the owners for which no allowance is made in the compensation paid for the premises; and whether he will intervene if any such requirements are brought to his notice in the case of areas dealt with under future orders?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINIf my hon. Friend will give me particulars of the actual cases which he has in mind I shall be glad to make inquiries.
