HC Deb 09 August 1920 vol 133 cc30-1
73. Mr. MYERS

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that houses erected at Guildford under the Municipal Housing Scheme, at a cost of roughly £900 per house, are being offered to the tenants for the sum of £600 per house; and, if so, will he say why this reduction is being made and where the loss on the transaction will fall?

Dr. ADDISON

I have not up to the present received any proposal for the sale of houses at Guildford. Local authorities are required to obtain my approval to any schemes for the sale of houses, and I am prepared to assent to sale at the best price obtainable as the Housing Act provides.
