§ 44. Mr. GOSSLINGasked the Minister of Health the number of houses built under the 1924 Act from July, 1928, to June, 1929; and the number built from July, 1929 to June, 1930?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe numbers for England and Wales were during the period 1st July, 1928, to 30th June, 1929, 51,282, and during the period 1st July, 1929, to 30th June, 1930, 54,159.
§ Sir K. WOODIs the right hon. Gentleman going to make an acknowledgment now that private enterprise has saved the situation?
§ Mr. GREENWOODNot at all. If there is any moral to he drawn from this answer it is that in the past year municipal building has increased.
§ Colonel ASHLEYIs it not a fact, that, the houses built by private enterprise increased at a far greater rate?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThat may be true, but that was not the point of the question.
§ Mr. E. D. SIMONIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that these houses are the only working-class houses being built, and is he satisfied with that state of affairs?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI believe the hon. Member has a question on that point later.
§ Sir K. WOODIs it not a miserable failure?
