§ Sir F. Markhamasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will list the 30 authorities which have declined to assist ex-Service men to obtain housing accommodation in their areas by not implementing his Department's circular of 1955 on this subject.
§ Sir K. JosephI do not think it would be fair to publish such a list nearly eight years after the circular to which the hon. Member refers. Some authorities were unable to comply with my predecessor's recommendation because of physical difficulties which may now have been overcome. If the hon. Member will send me details of any difficulties of which he is aware I will willingly pursue enquiries with the authority concerned.
