HC Deb 01 July 1924 vol 175 cc1135-6
88. Mr. TREVELYAN THOMSON

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the impossibility of understanding the provisions of the Housing (Financial Provisions) Bill without reference to the Housing, Etc., Act, 1923, owing to so many of its Clauses making direct reference to the Act, he will cause copies of the Housing, Etc., Act, 1923, to be either circulated to Members, or to be available on application at the Vote Office?

Mr. GREENWOOD

My right hon. Friend understands that arrangements have been made whereby hon. Members may obtain a copy of the Act upon application being made at the Vote Office.

Major COLFOX

Would not the simpler plan be to eliminate the references and redraft the Bill?

Mr. GREENWOOD

No, Sir.
