HC Deb 11 April 1921 vol 140 cc735-6
59. Mr. MYERS

asked the Minister of Health whether application has been received from the Heywood Corporation for official approval of a guild tender for the erection of houses; whether the matter has received consideration; and whether it is proposed to approve the tender?

Sir A. MONO

As was stated by my right hon. Friend on 9th March, in reply to the hon. Member for the Westhoughton Division, it has been felt necessary to-limit the number of guild contracts until further experience is gained of the results of -building by this method. I may say, however, that the tender submitted by the guild in this particular case was so high that it would not have been approved in any event.
