HC Deb 23 July 1957 vol 574 c31W
80. Mr. Gibson

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will have discussions with the metropolitan borough councils with a view to co-ordinating the steps being taken to prevent the overcrowding by coloured immigrants of houses in certain parts of London; and whether he will consider giving powers to provide temporary hostel accommodation which will enable the control of overcrowding to be effective.

Mr. Bevins

If the metropolitan borough councils wish to make any representations to my right hon. Friend on this subject, he will certainly consider them.
