HC Deb 20 July 1950 vol 477 cc191-2W
89. Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the Banstead Urban District Council has recently refused to accept from the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames transfer of a building licence to enable a resident in the Royal Borough living under overcrowded conditions to erect a bungalow on a plot of land owned by him within the Banstead Urban District Council area; that no reason has been given for this refusal; and what action he proposes to take to overcome such obstruction of his policy on the transfer of licences.

Mr. Bevan

This is a matter essentially for mutual agreement between the local authorities concerned, and I cannot undertake to intervene in individual cases.
