HC Deb 22 November 1928 vol 222 c1896
19. Sir MALCOLM MACNAGHTEN

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the Irish Sailors and Soldiers' Trust have not as yet erected any cottages for ex-service men in the Coleraine Urban District, in the County of Londonderry, although soon after the constitution of the trust six years ago 10 cottages were allocated to that district; and whether he will hasten the erection of these 10 cottages and, in view of the fact that more than 1,200 volunteers from Coleraine served in the War and cottages for ex-service men are urgently needed there, he will take steps to secure that a fair proportion of additional cottages are allocated to and erected in that district without undue delay?

Sir V. HENDERSON

My right hon. Friend is making inquiries, but he is afraid he is not yet in a position to give an answer.

Colonel HOWARD-BURY

Will the hon. and gallant Gentleman also inquire into the case of Tullamore, where some 2,000 men volunteered and, served in the British Army and only eight houses have been built, and where they are desirous of getting more?

Sir V. HENDERSON

Perhaps the hon. and gallant Gentleman will put down a question.
