HC Deb 29 November 1922 vol 159 cc694-5
64. Sir A. MOND

asked the Minister of Labour, as representing the Ministry of Health, whether he intends to adopt proposals for the further provision of houses by local authorities, with a fixed annual grant to cover part of the loss of rent, in accordance with the scheme framed by his predecessor in office?

Major BOYD-CARPENTER

The proposal to which the right hon. Member refers will be fully considered by the Government in their review of the whole question of housing policy.

Mr. THOMSON

Could the House have the advantage of the information withheld from this side of the House by the right hon. Gentleman the Member for West Swansea (Sir A. Mond) when he sat on the Treasury Bench, in spite of all our efforts to extract that information from him?
