HC Deb 23 February 1954 vol 524 cc17-8W
58. Mr. M. Stewart

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware of the difficulties caused to housing authorities in the London region by his Department's letter of 6th January, 1954, concerning expenditure on repair of requisitioned properties; and whether he will modify the instructions contained in that letter.

Mr. Marples

My right hon. Friend's officers have recently received a deputation from the Metropolitan Boroughs Standing Joint Committee. An agreed note of the meeting is being circulated to the Metropolitan town clerks, and my right hon. Friend feels sure that the difficulties have now been reduced if not overcome.
