HC Deb 27 January 1949 vol 460 c176W
102. Mr. Legge-Bourke

asked the Minister of Health how many local authorities have let houses since the war which contain neither solid fuel, electric, nor gas cooking appliances; and in how many cases the reason for this has been that if such appliances were provided the cost of the houses would exceed the maximum permitted by his Department.

Mr. Bevan

I would not approve local authority plans unless provision were made for cooking. The second part of the Question does not, therefore, arise.
