asked the Minister of Local Government and Planning how many military hutments are in occupation by families in the Cardiff rural district area; and whether he will issue a circular to all local authorities, where such camps exist, requesting them to give consideration to a systematic allocation of a proportion of their houses to the camp tenants, with a view to the subsequent demolition of the huts.

I hope that in due course local authorities will be able to rehouse all families living in such conditions, but I do not think it is necessary to issue a circular at present.
