HC Deb 30 March 1950 vol 473 cc65-6W
111. Mr. G. Roberts

asked the Minister of Health if he will introduce legislation to make it obligatory for all housing authorities to adopt a points system of allocating houses under their control.

Mr. Bevan

I consider this is a matter best left to the local authorities to determine in the light of local circumstances. General advice on the selection of tenants was given, however, in a Report by my Central Housing Advisory Committee which was sent to all housing authorities in April, 1949.
