HC Deb 11 March 1952 vol 497 cc125-6W
107. Mr. Murray

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware that mining subsidence at Brandon Colliery, County Durham, is having a disturbing effect on 160 miners and their families; if he will consult with the National Coal Board on this matter; and if he will also consider increasing the council's allocation of houses to meet this situation.

Mr. Marples

My right hon. Friend understands that the local authority have had consultations with the National Coal Board. He will of course consider any application for further instalments of the housing programme which the council may make.

Forward to
