§ Mr. J. BAKERasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that of 97 houses completed in Teignmouth since the War only 21 have been sold to local residents; that there is need for an extension of housing provisions; that the local authority has so far not built any assisted houses; and whether, in these circumstances, he is prepared to take any steps for the provision of houses sufficient to satisfy local needs?
§ Sir K. WOODMy right hon. Friend is aware of the facts to which the hon. Member refers. He understands, however, from the local authority that they have appointed a housing committee with a view to the consideration of a scheme for the erection of houses toy the authority. That committee is at present going into the question of suitable and available sites.
