asked the Minister of Health what steps are being taken to improve the housing conditions in the parish of Helpringham, in the East Kesteven rural district council; how many houses have been condemned under the slum-clearance scheme and how many built; whether there is a shortage of houses in the parish; and, if so, whether any new cottages have been built to meet the shortage?

I will ascertain the position in the particular parish mentioned in the question, and inform the hon. Member.
