HC Deb 06 December 1966 vol 737 c258W
58. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if, in order to prevent people from being rehoused out of turn, he will seek power to require that, once an area has been represented to his Department as a slum clearance area, landlords may not relet to new tenants without consulting the local housing authority.

Mr. Mellish

My right hon. Friend does not think new powers are required, though he is prepared to consider any information my hon. Friend wishes to give him.
