HC Deb 12 July 1928 vol 219 cc2440-2
34. Mr. MONTAGUE

asked the Minister of Health if he will state the number of houses completed, and the number authorised but not completed, by local authorities and by private enterprise under the 1923 and 1924 Housing Acts, respectively, in each of the 12 months prior to the reduction of the subsidy and in each month since; and the average price of parlour and non-parlour houses, together with the average superficial area, for each of these months?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN
