HC Deb 28 November 1946 vol 430 c332W
90. Mr. Nutting

asked the Minister of Health whether he has considered the resolution, a copy of which has been sent to him, passed by the Leicestershire British Legion Council, on 2nd November, expressing concern at the slow rate of permanent house building in the city and county of Leicester; and what action he proposes to take in the matter.

Mr. Bevan

I have considered the resolution. As the hon. Member will see from the published returns the local authorities throughout the county have started substantial numbers of houses and every endeavour is being made to secure the labour and materials required for their completion.
