HC Deb 01 August 1887 vol 318 cc701-2
MR. J. ROWLANDS (Finsbury, E.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he is a ware that any Corporate Bodies have let or sold any land in the Metropolis for Artizans Dwellings under "The Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1885," Section 11, Sub-section (2); and, if they have, where such land is situate, and what number of persons the buildings erected thereon have housed?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)

I have made such inquiry as was possible since the hon. Member's Question was on the Paper; and I have not been able to learn that any instances have occurred of Bodies Corporate having let or sold land under the powers alluded to in the Question. I am still endeavouring to get information on the subject, and will inform the hon. Member of any instances that come to my knowledge.
