HC Deb 14 December 1950 vol 482 c194W
85. Mrs. Middleton

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider applications from individual local authorities faced with exceptional circumstances of difficulty in housing matters, for the delegation to such authorities of his powers of requisitioning house property.

Mr. Bevan

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to her question on requisitioning on 16th November.

102. Mr. Adams

asked the Minister of Health to state the grounds on which he refused the application of the Wandsworth Borough Council for permission to requisition the property at 51 Vant Road, S.W.17, of which he has already received details.

Mr. Bevan

Authority to requisition has not been refused: the Wandsworth Borough Council withdrew their original application, but are reconsidering the matter.
