HC Deb 08 March 1922 vol 151 c1266
57. Mr. T. THOMSON

asked the Minister of Health the lowest prices he has recently accepted for contracts for three bedroom and two-bedroom houses built under the Government's housing schemes?

Sir A. MOND

The lowest tender prices for two and three-bedroom houses have been £433 for the former in December and £425 for the latter in February.

Mr. THOMSON

In view of these very low prices, will the right hon. Gentleman consider giving sanction to the local authorities to build more houses?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise out of the question.
