HC Deb 07 July 1944 vol 401 cc1438-9W
Sir R. Gower

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the number of substantial houses in parts of London which have been empty since the 1941 bombing and are becoming derelict owing to the absence of any protection against the weather; and whether such residences will be adapted for housing bombed-out persons.

Mr. Willink

The policy of the Government is that such labour and materials as can be made available for the purpose should be used to provide the maximum amount of accommodation for families, including homeless families, living under bad housing conditions.
