88. Mr. ERNEST WINTERTONasked the Minister of Health how many State-aided houses have been built in the area of the Ashby-de-la-Zouche Rural District Council for each year during the past seven years; how many of these were erected under the Act of 1923; and how many under the Act of 1924?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe figures for the year ended 31st December, 1924, and each of the six succeeding years are as follow: 16, 20, 46, 42, 16, 30 and 26. The 26 houses last-mentioned were built under the Act of 194, and the remainder under the Act of 1923.
Mr. WINTERTONIs it possible for my right hon. Friend to bring any pressure to bear on the local authorities to take advantage of these facilities?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI am constantly bringing pressure to bear on local authorities, particularly rural authorities.
