§ Sir K. VAUGHAN-MORGANasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the schemes for the reconditioning of dilapidated property which are being carried out successfully by private enterprise; and whether he is prepared to extend the powers which local authorities possess to co-operate financially and otherwise with private enterprise in schemes of reconditioning and slum-clearance over large areas?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part the hon. and gallant Member can rest assured that I shall carefully consider this as well as the other aspects of the problem of slum clearance. He will not expect me to anticipate the proposals which I hope to submit to the House.
