§ 25. Commander BELLAIRSasked the Minister of Health what action he proposes to take in regard to houses affected by the termination of the subsidy in the case of houses which have not been completed because of shortage or delays
§ in delivery; and whether there has been any tendency for prices to increase in view of builders being compelled to obtain their supplies in order to complete their houses before the termination of the subsidy?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI am not yet in a position to add to the replies which were given to questions on housing subsidy which were addressed to me by the hon. Members for Shipley and Middlesbrough West on the 16th and 23rd ultimo, respectively. I will, however, bear in mind the hon. and gallant Member's point in the event of an Order being made modifying the present subsidy. 'With regard to the last part of the question, I have no evidence that there has been a tendency for prices to increase for the reason referred to in the question.
§ Colonel DAYWill the right hon. Gentleman see that in these cases a special price is not put in the agreement the house is to be sold for after the subsidy has been granted?
