HC Deb 28 June 1928 vol 219 cc681-2
25. Mr. W. M. ADAMSON

asked the Minister of Health whether he has received the declaration of the Association of Midland Local Authorities Conference regarding the withdrawal of the housing subsidy being delayed till 1930; and if he is now prepared to consider this request favourably?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not appear to have received the declaration referred to, but I would point out that the Statutory review of the subsidy at present payable cannot be undertaken until after the 1st October next, and I cannot anticipate what the result of that review will be. I have, however, already given an assurance that houses completed by the 31st March, 1929, will, if otherwise eligible, qualify for subsidy at the existing rates.
