In a broadcast discussion on shirr clearance the Minister of Health, Sii Edward Hilton, said the reply of tht local authorities to the Government call for action was a programme for clearing away more than 200,000 houses and rehousing more than 1,000,000 people in five years. • The programme would cost about £95,000,000' and should employ about 80,000 people in the building trade and related trades. Since 1875 only 200,000 people had been rehoused by slum clearance. It was proposed now to rehouse 1,000,000 in about one-twelfth of that time.
