HC Deb 11 July 1946 vol 425 cc104-5W
16. Sir P. Hannon

asked the Minister of Health the circumstances under which the Solihull Urban District Council has refused civil building licences for the erection of 53 houses on the Tanhouse Farm Estate, Olton, by the Ideal Benefit Society; and, as the erection of these houses is part of the extensive building programme of this society, if he will issue instructions for the necessary licences for labour and materials to at once be made available for the construction of these houses.

Mr. Key

As my right hon. Friend informed the hon. Member in a letter sent to him on 20th June, it has been necessary to restrict the issue of further licences in the district for the present in view of the calls upon labour and materials for housing proposals already approved. My right hon. Friend will be prepared to review the question in the light of progress made with the actual building.
