HC Deb 23 July 1934 vol 292 cc1541-2W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Minister of Health the number of towns which have been specially visited by his inspectors to ascertain whether the local authorities concerned are making adequate efforts to deal with slum clearance; and the names of the towns in each county?

Sir H. YOUNG

No, Sir. These visits are made in the course of the inspectors' duties both for the purpose of assisting local authorities and for that of stimulat- ing them in their efforts to deal with slum clearance, and are not necessarily the subject of special reports to me.
