§ 88. Commander Nobleasked the Minister of Health in how many cases have local authorities granted the original owner readmission to a share in requisitioned premises; in how many cases a request for readmission has been refused; how many applications to sell the property to the local authorities have been refused; and what is his present policy in these matters.
§ Mr. BevanThese statistics are not available. I have no reason to doubt that, in considering applications from owners, local authorities have due regard to their interests as well as to their own need for housing accommodation. If the hon. and gallant Member has any particular case in mind I should be glad to look into it.
