HC Deb 01 August 1961 vol 645 c133W
4. Mrs. Butler

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what consideration he has given to the housing difficulties of tenants displaced by private schemes of redevelopment; and whether he will introduce legislation to place a requirement on owners to provide such tenants with accommodation in the new scheme before planning permission is given.

Mr. Brooke

Redevelopment of old property is in the public interest, and I am afraid that the hon. Member's suggestion would discourage it.
