(d) Warwick Street Areas.—On the 15th May, 1936, Dr. W. E. Roper Saunders,
a Medical Officer of Health appointed by the London County Council for the
purpose of carrying into effect Part III of the Housing Act, 1936, made an official
representation with respect to a group of areas known as the Warwick Street Nos.

on 17th March, 1939.
