HC Deb 05 February 1931 vol 247 c2112
72. Major HARVEY

asked the Minister of Health how many grants have been made under the Housing (Rural Workers) Act, 1926, for the re-conditioning of agricultural houses in the counties of Devon and Cornwall, respectively?

Miss LAWRENCE

Up to the 31st December last, grants under the Housing (Rural Workers) Act, 1926, had been promised in respect of 523 dwellings in the county of Devon and 205 dwellings in the county of Cornwall.

Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTE

Can the hon. Lady say why such small advantage has been taken of this Act in Cornwall?

Miss LAWRENCE

I am afraid I could not go into the comparative methods in different counties across the Floor of the House.
