HC Deb 06 February 1951 vol 483 c179W
4. Mr. Steward

asked the Minister of Local Government and Planning if, in view of the undertakings made in 1945 to serving members of the Forces that homes would be available upon their demobilisation, he will consider issuing a circular instructing local authorities to give housing priority to ex-Service men.

Mr. Dalton

No such undertakings were given. Most local authorities, through their points schemes or otherwise, give weight to war service. I do not propose to issue any further circular at present.
