§ Mr. Harold Daviesasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will increase the allocation of houses to Cheadle rural district, Staffordshire, in order that they may be able to transfer tenants from the unsatisfactory Women's Auxiliary Air Force huts in which some 20 large families now live.
§ Mr. H. MacmillanYes. I shall be willing to increase the allocation in accordance with progress made. While I have every sympathy for the families referred to, it is, of course, for the council to select their tenants on the basis of relative need.
