It appears from the latest available information that the number of parishes in rural districts in the administrative county of Warwick which are not "agricultural" within the meaning of Clause 2 (2) of the Housing (Financial Provisions) Bill as amended is 46. I am sending the hon. Member a list of these parishes.
