§ 78. Mr. T. JOHNSTONasked the Minister of Health if he will give a Return, showing the total number of applications for houses received by local authorities in Great Britain since the War, and the number of applicants who have been supplied with houses?
§ Lord E. PERCYMy right hon. Friend fears that such a Return would not only involve great labour and expense, but might also be misleading in view of 1915 duplication of applications and the like. The total number of houses completed under Assisted Government Housing Schemes in England and Wales on 1st April last was 198,183. Statistics of the numbers of houses provided without Government assistance are not available.
