HC Deb 11 October 1945 vol 414 cc426-7W
Mr. J. Beattie

asked the Minister of Health what representations have been made to him by the Minister of Health and Local Government of Northern Ireland for temporary housing accommodation to meet the needs of the homeless people in Northern Ireland; and with what result.

Mr. Bevan

I have been in touch with the Minister of Health and Local Government of Northern Ireland and I hope to make a statement at an early date.

Mr. Kirby

asked the Minister of Health if he will now permit the Liverpool Corporation to erect the Keay narrow-fronted temporary houses in place of and/or additional to the quota of Phoenix type already allocated to the city.

Mr. Bevan

The types of temporary houses have now been settled and I do not consider it is desirable to extend or vary them at this stage.
