HC Deb 13 November 1967 vol 754 cc35-6W
97. Mr. Hale

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will send a circular to local corporations on t he execution of their powers and duties in connection with squatter fami- lies, often with young children, who occupy without authority derelict properties or other houses scheduled for demolition.

Mr. MacColl

There does not seem to be such a general problem of this kind as would make a Circular helpful. However, I understand that my hon. Friend's concern arises from the circumstances of a particular Compulsory Purchase Order, on which I have written to him.
