HC Deb 25 April 1923 vol 163 c460
68. Mr. JONES

further asked the Minister of Health whether he has received any representations from local authorities, from housing associations, and from other bodies interested in the provision of working-class houses, protesting against the exclusion of State assistance for the parlour type of house; and whether, in view of the demand for the parlour type of house as a necessary amenity in working-class life, he will reconsider his decision in the matter?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I would refer the hon. Member to the statement I made yesterday in moving the Second Reading of the Housing Bill.

Mr. JONES

Will the right hon. Gentleman reconsider the matter in the statement which he will make?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I cannot have another opportunity of speaking on the Second Reading of the Housing Bill. Perhaps the hon. Member will pay attention to what is said by other members of the Government.
