SLUM CLEARANCE
Big British Effort 5-YEAR PROGRAMME Rehousing a Million People COST ABOUT £95,000,000 (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, October 31. In a broadcast discussion on slum clearances last night, the Health Minister, Sir Hilton Young, said that the reply of the local authorities to the Government’s call for action was a programme for clearing away more than 200,000 houses and rehousing more than one million people in five years. That, lie said, would be a very big effort. It would cost about £95,000,000. It should employ some 80,000 people in the building trade and related trades. Since 1875 only 200,000 people had been rehoused by slum eleartnee. It was now proposed to rehouse one million people in about one-twelfth of that time.
