§ 75. Mr. John Leeasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how 237W many instances have occurred in each year since 1951 of Government assuming any of powers of a local authority; how many of these instances related to responsibility for housing or house allocation; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GreenwoodThe answer in relation to housing or house allocation is "none". It would take disproportionate labour to find out how often it has been done in other fields, but I can say that instances are rare.
