§ 31. Mr. MYERSasked the Minister of Health the number of houses erected and sanctioned under the schemes approved by his Department where no provision for a bath has been made, and, in the cases where baths have been provided, the number of houses where the bath is in the scullery and the number of houses where the bath has been placed in a room specially provided for the purpose?
§ Sir A. MONDOver 90 per cent, of the houses in approved schemes have separate bathrooms. In a small proportion of the houses the bath is placed in the scullery and is usually so arranged that when in use access to other offices is not prevented. In some rural houses where there is no constant water supply, or where the drainage effluent is difficult to deal with, no bathroom or fixed bath has been provided, but in many of these cases the house has been so planned as to enable a bath to be installed when conditions as to water supply, etc., allow.
