HC Deb 10 December 1947 vol 445 c215W
96. Sir R. Glyn

asked the Minister of Health whether in the case of rural houses that are reported by the local authority, under Section 11 of the Housing Act, 1936, as being unfit for human habitation and the owner is willing and anxious to reconstruct and repair the property, he will agree to a licence being granted on the certificate of the local authority for the necessary labour and material by the Ministry of Works to be forthcoming up to a reasonable limit for each rural district.

Mr. J. Edwards

Yes, licences would normally be granted by the local authority in such cases.
