90. Mr. HARMSWORTH

asked the Minister of Health whether he will give figures showing the total amounts of loans sanctioned by the Ministry on the application of local authorities, including boards of guardians, since His Majesty's Government came into office?

Sir K. WOOD

The total amount of loans for capital expenditure sanctioned from the 5th November, 1924, to the 23rd February, 1926, is £109,675,288, of which £70,859,536 is for housing.

Mr. ALEXANDER

Have any loans to boards of guardians been written off, or are the Government considering writing them off?

Sir K. WOOD

We discussed that just now. None of these loans, so far as I am aware, has been written off.
