HC Deb 31 May 1963 vol 678 cc195-6W
Mr. Chapman

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what are the reasons for his continued delay in confirming compulsory purchase orders on dilapidated houses at Adams Hill, Bartley Green, Birmingham; and whether he is aware that this delay is causing hardship to the tenants of these dwellings, since the Birmingham Corporation cannot rehouse them until it owns the houses.

Mr. Corfield

My right hon. Friend's decision to confirm this compulsory purchase order subject to slight modification was issued on Wednesday.
