§ 101. Mr. Henigasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will introduce legislation to amend the Clean Air Act, 1956, so as to ensure that when local authorities designate smokeless zones, council house tenants are given the same rights as owner-occupiers.
§ Mr. SkeffingtonNo. Complaints about the present arrangements have been negligible. It would be wrong to 245W pay grant to a tenant for installing appliances which, as his own property, he could later remove; and uniformity of heating on council estates is often justified economically.
