HC Deb 14 May 1925 vol 183 cc2019-20
Mr. PALING

asked the Minister of Health how many authorities have had a money allocation for the building of demonstration houses; how many have started to build same; and how many houses are nearing completion or have been completed?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Of the £50,000 voted for the purpose of special grants for demonstration houses, £34,000 has been allocated, covering houses to be erected by 56 local authorities. According to the latest information the work of construction has been started in the case of 10 local authorities; four of the houses have actually been completed.

Mr. H. WILLIAMS

How many different types of houses have been erected under the scheme?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I believe the four houses which have actually been completed are all of one type.
