HC Deb 01 July 1968 vol 767 c171W
Mr. Simon Mahon

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what advice his Department is giving to local authorities engaged in clearance of older areas and redevelopment; if this advice deals with the question of allowing people who are disturbed in their present homes a reasonable choice of new accommodation; and if he will consult with local authorities with a view to improving the relations between those concerned.

Mr. MacColl

Present practices and advice on rehousing from clearance areas are among matters being reviewed by a sub-committee of the Central Housing Advisory Committee. The sub-committee have asked for information and comments from the associations of local authorities, as well as from more than 100 of a cross-section of individual authorities, and they intend to prepare a report with recommendations as soon as possible.
