HC Deb 16 April 1919 vol 114 cc2888-9
42. Mr. GILBERT

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he has in the possession of his Department any models or plans for suggested new housing schemes both for town and country demands; and whether, in view of the interest in this matter, he will arrange for an exhibiton of same so that local authorities, officials, and others interested in housing can view and examine any recent suggestions made to his Department so that housing schemes to be submitted to his Department under the new Bill may have the latest improvements and all up-to-date suggestions combined in all local housing schemes and plans?

Dr. ADDISON

A manual, containing type, plans, and a good deal of information for the guidance of local authorities in the preparation of housing schemes, was issued some days ago, and copies were sent to all housing authorities. I shall be happy to send my hon. Friend a copy. Local authorities will be kept informed of any improvements or suggestions which may be of value.
