Housing Acts, 1925-1930.—Areas.
In July, 1934, the Medical Officer of Health and Acting Borough
Surveyor submitted a Memorandum to the Housing Committee concerning
the balance of the 40 areas submitted in 1933, together with some 35
others. Some of these areas had been visited and discussed with representatives
of the County Medical Officer of Health. A list of 40 of these
areas was submitted to the London County Council, with the request
that the London County Council should consider the list and inform the
Borough Council which of the areas would be dealt with by the County
Council, and which areas they suggested should be dealt with by the
Borough Council.
