§ Mr. BevanI regret that I have not the information in the exact form asked for by my hon. Friend but on 31st July, 1945, 233 families or parts of families whose original homes were in Liverpool were still billeted or otherwise housed outside Liverpool. My hon. Friend can be assured that the Liverpool Corporation are giving every consideration to applications from such persons for housing accommodation in Liverpool. There are, however, many other classes of persons whose needs have also to be met.
