HC Deb 05 March 1924 vol 170 cc1384-5
74. Major STEEL

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider the increase of the £6 subsidy payable under the Housing Act, 1923, for houses to be built in rural districts as the present subsidy of £6 is considered inadequate, especially in those districts in which local building materials are not readily available and have to be imported into the district?

Mr. WHEATLEY

The hon. Member's suggestion will be considered in connection with the Government's housing proposals.
