Jonesasked the Minister of Health what representations he has received from railwaymen's organisations about the difficulty of transferred railwaymen in securing housing accommodation at the new stations; and whether he will consider according these key workers the same priority for houses as is given to other classes of essential workers.
§ Mr. BevanI have received representations from the National Union of Railwaymen. On the information before me 327W I think needs would best be met by consultations with local authorities in particular areas. I am ready to arrange for such consultations on being informed where the problems mainly arise.
