HC Deb 15 February 1922 vol 150 c994
36. Mr. A. WILLIAMS

asked the Minister of Health whether the Government have considered the desirability of extending until 1924 the period during which the housing subsidy for new houses will be given to local authorities?

Sir A. MOND

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on Thursday last to a question of the hon. Member for the Heywood Division (Mr. Halls) on this matter.

Mr. T. THOMSON

Will the right hon. Gentleman say why the same consideration should not be given to English housing authorities as has been given to Scottish housing authorities?

Sir A. MOND

As far as I am aware, exactly the same consideration is going to be extended.
