HC Deb 08 July 1930 vol 241 c216
16. Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs how many houses have been built in Kerry by the Soldiers and Sailors Land, Trust for ex-service men; how many more it is proposed to build; and what rents are being charged?

Mr. THOMAS

I am informed that 14 cottages were completed by the Irish Sailors and Soldiers Land Trust at Tralee, and occupied in February, 1928, and that the Trustees propose to build 16 other cottages. The rents of the existing cottages at Tralee are 10 at 5s. per week, and four at 6s. 6d. per week.

Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say if any representations have been made by societies or individuals in Southern Ireland protesting against the rents charged, and also against the number of cottages that are built?

Mr. THOMAS

I have not the foggiest notion about that, but I will have it looked into.
