HC Deb 19 March 1931 vol 249 c2155W
Mr. P. OLIVER

asked the Minister of Health whether any code of building bylaws relating to the level, width, and construction of new streets has been presented under Section 12 (1) of the Housing Act, 1923; and, if so, how many local authorities have passed a resolution adopting such code?

Mr. GREENWOOD

No, Sir, but the hon. Member will be glad to know that almost every local authority which had in force in 1923 by-laws with respect to new streets has now brought them up-to-date by the ordinary procedure of itself adopting proposals upon modern lines. This has been found more convenient than procedure under the Housing Act, 1923.
