HC Deb 12 May 1938 vol 335 c1736W
Mr. D. Somerville

asked the Minister of Health whether he will state, by counties, the number of ancient cottages of natural attractiveness which he has saved from destruction under clearance schemes on the understanding that they are reconditioned?

Sir K. Wood

I am sending my hon. Friend a statement of the number of houses in each county which I have excluded from Clearance Orders since May, 1936, upon being satisfied with the reconditioning undertakings of the owners. I cannot say how many of these houses were of the kind referred to in the question.
