HC Deb 17 June 1948 vol 452 c75W
81. Mr. G. Roberts

asked the Minister of Health why representatives of the Press are debarred from attending and reporting zonal housing conferences; and if he will remove this disability.

Mr. Bevan

The zonal conferences are informal meetings arranged by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Works to facilitate free discussion of building subjects betwen local authorities and Government Departments. I do not think any change in the present arrangements is called for.
