HC Deb 01 May 1913 vol 52 c1349
10. Mr. WILLIAM O'BRIEN

asked whether the Local Government Board have now ascertained the average rent charged for houses built under the Houses of the Working Classes (Ireland) Act; and how many of those houses are let at a rent under 2s. a week?

Mr. BIRRELL

From the information furnished by local authorities it would appear that the average weekly rent charged for houses erected since the passing of the Housing of the Working Classes (Ireland) Act, 1908, is 3s. 4d. Twenty-eight houses are let at rents under 2s. a week.
