asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the conditions under which families are living at Ufford, Suffolk, in temporary accommodation, have not been improved; and what emergency steps he is prepared to take to increase the building of houses in the vicinity in order that these people may be decently housed.

The standard of accommodation in these hutments is as good as can be provided in such buildings. The erection of houses in the district is primarily a matter for the rural district council. They have already built houses in the Ufford area and will, I am assured, continue to allocate to it as many houses from their total programme as they reasonably can.
