HC Deb 22 February 1922 vol 150 cc1899-900
65. Mr. THOMSON

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that, owing to the action of his Ministry in delaying assent to the carrying out of schemes already approved by them, it will be impossible for local authorities to complete all the houses for which provisional sanction has been obtained before July, 1922; and, under these circumstances, will the Government grant to English authorities the same extension of time for completion that has been pro- mised to Scotch housing authorities and to the London County Council?

Sir A. MOND

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Exeter on Monday last.

Mr. THOMSON

Will the right hon. Gentleman be good enough to reply to the last part of my question?

Sir A. MOND

If the hon. Gentleman will look at the answer to which I am referring I think he will find that is dealt with.
