§ 55. Mr. Speedasked the Minister of Power if he will give a general direction to the National Coal Board that it should sell its houses to tenants at market value in cases where the tenant wishes, and is able, to buy.
§ Mr. FreesonNo; but I understand that this is already the policy of the N.C.B. where it no longer requires the houses and first offers for sale have been turned down by local authorities.
