SLUM CLEARANCE
HOUSING PROBLEM IN BRITAIN. PROVISIONS IN NEW ACT. (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, August 9. One of the most important among the Bills which became law at the end of last week before Parliament adjourned was the Housing Act, which completed the legislative framework of the Government’s plans for dealing with the housing problem, and which for the first time lays down the statutory definition of overcrowding. The Ministry of Health has lost no time in circularizing local authorities, assuring them of the readiness of the Minister to give any assistance in his power to those able to take immediate action to abate overcrowding. The circular just issued draws attention to the changes which the. Act makes in slum clearances, and states that the first stage is a survey in each locality to determine where overcrowding exists.
