HC Deb 21 January 1931 vol 247 cc191-2W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Health how many areas have been scheduled for slum clearance by the various local authorities in Kent?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I regret that this information is not available. I have not as yet received any actual declaration of a clearance area from the local authorities in Kent, but such a declaration involves a large amount of detailed preliminary work and local authorities are not required to inform me of the areas with which they propose to deal until a specific declaration can be made.
