HC Deb 15 July 1946 vol 425 cc152-3W
Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Health the number of houses for which licences had already been issued that were subsequently stopped either before the houses were started or soon after due to his orders on this subject.

Mr. Bevan:

The figures are not available but I have been in touch with the local authority concerned to rectify the position in any cases in which I have been informed that a licence had been withdrawn where building had began or a contract had been entered into.

Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Health how many applications for licences to build permanent houses were submitted to local authorities by private-enterprise builders and refused on account of his instructions since he took office; and how many houses were involved in such refusals.

Mr. Bevan:

I regret that this information is not available.
