HC Deb 15 June 1939 vol 348 c1534W
Mr. Poole

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider the necessity of instructing all local authorities to give a clear intimation to all tenants of houses scheduled for demolition as unfit dwellings that the local authority will accept responsibility for the provision of alternative accommodation for such tenants?

Mr. Elliot

I have no reason to think that the re-housing obligations imposed by statute upon local authorities are not sufficiently well known. If the hon. Member has any particular case in mind I should of course, be happy to inquire into it, if he will send me details.
