Mr. Temple Morrisasked the Minister of Health whether he can state the number of cottages for agricultural workers which have been built or are building in each of the Welsh counties during the last three years; and how far these figures meet the existing demand?
§ Mr. ElliotI am sending my hon. and learned Friend a statement showing the number of houses built by local authorities and by private enterprise in the three years ended 30th September last, and in course of construction by local authorities at that date, in the rural districts of the several Welsh counties. No records are available to show how many of these houses were for agricultural workers, but my information is that the demand for the housing of such workers is far from satisfied.
