HC Deb 18 November 1947 vol 444 c168W
102. Viscountess Davidson

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the necessity of maintaining the food production of the country, he will take steps to ensure that where agricultural land has been acquired by local authorities for housing schemes which, although approved, have been postponed owing to the present crisis, such land will continue to be used for agricultural purposes until such time as the housing programme can be restarted.

Mr. J. Edwards

I am sending the hon. Member copies of two circulars issued to housing authorities.
