HC Deb 07 May 1931 vol 252 cc551-2
52. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Minister of Health if he has now given further consideration to the proposal for the institution of a national housing board which would have jurisdiction in relation to State-aided house building; and if he has come to any conclusion upon this proposal?

Mr. GREENWOOD

As was stated in the Debate of 16th April last, careful consideration is being given to proposals which have been made with a view to meeting the special difficulties of rural housing.

Sir K. WOOD

Has the right hon. Gentleman in view any such proposal as the institution of a national housing board in order to remove the matter from his own jurisdiction?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The right hon. Gentleman had better wait and see.
