§ 74. Mr. HURDasked the Minister of Health whether, according to information in his Department, it is now possible to build houses in typical rural districts for £300 per house to be let at 2s. 6d. a week?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Miss Lawrence)A house erected by a local authority in an agricultural parish at an inclusive cost of £300 can be let for 2s. 6d. a week exclusive of rates, but although some authorities have succeeded in building for £300 or less the average price in rural districts is still somewhat higher.
§ Miss LAWRENCEI am afraid that I must ask for notice of that question.
