Thomasasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he has now received from all local authorities the information he sought concerning the hardship caused to individual ratepayers who are called to pay for street improvements under the Act of 1892; whether he has completed his analysis; and what action he proposes to take.
§ Sir K. JosephAlmost all the information sought has been received and is being studied. My right hon. Friend wants to examine it carefully before reaching any conclusions on this complex subject. This is bound to take some time.
