§ 73. Sir S. ROBERTSasked the President of the Local Government Board the total number of local authorities which have intimated that houses for the working classes are required in their respective areas; the total number of such houses; and the names of the local authorities and the number of houses they respectively require in cases where such houses exceed 100 in number?
Mr. FISHERThe total number of local authorities in England and Wales which have intimated to me that houses for the working classes are required in their areas is 1,103. Owing to the form in which the replies of local authorities have been given it is not possible to state exactly how many houses they consider necessary, but the number probably exceeds 300,000. In 510 cases the number of houses required exceeds 100. My hon. Friend will not expect me to read out the names of these 510 local authorities.
§ Sir S. ROBERTSWill the right hon. Gentleman send me a list of the names?
