HC Deb 20 May 1969 vol 784 cc57-8W
Mr. Oakes

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will include in the terms of reference of the present advisory committee on rehousing in clearance areas, the problems of small shopkeepers on weekly tenancies in such areas.

Mr. MacColl

The Committee in question is a sub-committee of the Central Housing Advisory Committee appointedto review the practice of housing authorities in allocating tenancies and rehousing, and to suggest rules or principles to be followed in these matters". So far as a small shopkeeper on a weekly tenancy in a clearance area may wish to be rehoused by the housing authority, his case is already within the committee's terms of reference, but it would be difficult to include any other of his problems within them.
