HC Deb 09 June 1931 vol 253 cc812-3
70. Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Minister of Health whether it is the intention of the Government to accelerate further the building of cottages and small houses in the rural districts; and whether he can make any statement on the matter?

Miss LAWRENCE

My right hon. Friend is not yet in a position to make any statement on this matter. It is still under consideration.

Mr. BROCKWAY

Has the hon. Lady's attention been drawn to the statement of the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Darwen (Sir H. Samuel) on this matter: and will she confirm that statement?

Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

Can the hon. Lady say whether this is the only progress that has been made in two years with rural housing?
