HC Deb 24 February 1930 vol 235 c1835
1. Mr. DAY

asked the Secretary of State for India whether the situation created by the shortage of bungalows for the purpose of housing officers and their families in Peshawar, in the North-West Frontier Province of India, has now been remedied; and can he say when the last Report on the general question of housing officers in this province was received?

The SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Wedgwood Benn)

I hope that before April there will be 30 additional quarters available. I am constantly in correspondence with the Government of India on the general question.

Mr. DAY

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the position is now satisfactory?

Mr. BENN

No. I do not like to say that, but I think there has been an improvement.
