HC Deb 06 November 1930 vol 244 c1038
85. Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

asked the Minister of Health whether the housing shortage is definitely at an end; and, if not, where such shortage exists in acute form?

Mr. GREENWOOD

It is common knowledge that there is still a widespread shortage of working-class houses. I shall be better able to judge its local incidence in presence of the results of the survey, prescribed by Section 25 of the Act of 1930, to be made by local authorities.
