HC Deb 03 May 1923 vol 163 cc1579-80
78. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether there is a system under which Government grants are made to ex-soldiers to assist them to purchase their own homes; and if, in that case, he can state what this system is and the extent to which recourse is being made to it by ex-service men?

Major BOYD-CARPENTER

I am not quite clear what system the hon. Member has in mind. Unless he is thinking of the land settlement schemes—as to which he will be able to obtain information from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Board of Agriculture for Scotland—I am not aware of any system of the nature described.
