HC Deb 09 December 1948 vol 459 c75W
82. Mr. Sharp

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that circular 171/48 does not ask local authorities to ensure that the information given on individual applications for a council house is brought up to date before submitting the return to his Department; and whether he will urge local authorities to arrange for this to he done, especially in the case of old applications.

Mr. Bevan

Yes. This is a matter which I think can be left to the local authorities.
