HC Deb 03 November 1908 vol 195 c991
MR. BRIDGEMAN

I beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, if he can state how many of the applicants for small holdings have asked for the erection of new dwelling-houses, and how many new dwelling-houses the local authorities have undertaken to provide under the Act of 1907.

SIR EDWARD STRACHEY

The demand for houses is small, under 5 per cent. The schemes already received provide for the erection of sixteen dwelling-houses.
