§ 24. Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Health whether he can state the rents charged, exclusive of rates, for houses built with State assistance, under the Housing Act, which contain three rooms or more, and are controlled by either the London County Council, the Middlesex Council, the Essex County Council, or the Surrey County Council?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe rents (exclusive of rates) charged by the London County Council for houses containing three rooms or more vary from 8s. 6d. to 21s. 3d. a week according to the accommodation provided and the situation of the houses. County councils other than the London County Council do not provide houses except for persons in their own employment. The rents charged for such houses by the three councils named are as follow:
| Per week. | |||
| s. | d. | ||
| Middlesex County Council | … | 10 | 6 |
| Essex County Council | … | 5 | 6 |
| Surrey County Council | … | 4 | 8 |
