HC Deb 29 April 1926 vol 194 c2210W
Viscountess ASTOR

asked the Minister of Health if he has approved of the work of the St. Pancras House Improvement Society; and what type of areas he regards as suitable for similar treatment by management on the lines laid down by the late Miss Octavia Hill?

Mr. N. CHAMBERLAIN

I have expressed my appreciation of the excellent work which is being performed by this society. I am of opinion that the system of house management on the lines laid down by the late Miss Octavia Hill may be usefully applied to any working-class properties, especially those which have been acquired for the purpose of reconstruction and renovation.
