HC Deb 09 November 1972 vol 845 c238W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is aware that there are many British citizens in insanitary and inadequate housing accommodation, some in halfway houses, and some having to be split up from their families, and that this situation is prevalent in the London Borough of Newham; and whether he will arrange that such persons shall be offered accommodation at the resettlement camps in the same way and on the same basis as the Ugandan Asians.

Mr. Channon

I do not think that temporary accommodation in former Service camps is the answer to the problems that are concerning the hon. Member.
