§ 79. Major Legge-Bourkeasked the Minister of Health if he will raise the allocation of houses to local authorities by the number of houses they have built or intend building for district nurses.
§ Mr. BevanAllocations for new house building made to housing authorities are related to the building resources of the area and the course which the hon. Member suggests is impracticable. I am aware that difficulties do arise in finding accommodation for district nurses and 105W have already drawn the attention of housing authorities to the matter in circulars of which I am sending the hon. Member copies. I am also prepared to consider on their merits and in relation to the building resources of the area proposals from local health authorities for erection of houses specifically for district nurses.
