§ 83. Mr. Shinwellasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what measures he contemplates to deal with the permanent aluminium bungalows, a report on which was sent by the Easington Rural District Council to his Department on 21st September, 1959; if he is aware that 258 of the bungalows are deteriorating; and what guidance he will give, beyond that contained in his letter to the Easing-ton Rural District Council of 26th June, 1959, on this problem.
§ Mr. BrookeI am well aware of this matter. A number of other local authorities are faced with a similar problem in relation to permanent aluminium bungalows of this type erected in 1947–49, and I hope to be in a position soon to advise all the councils concerned on how it should be dealt with generally.
