§ 28. Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Minister of Health if he will give figures on the latest convenient date of the total number of houses built, or under construction, by direct labour under the Housing Acts by local authorities, giving the figures separately for each authority?
Sir H. YOUNGI regret that the detailed particulars asked for are not available. The total number of houses completed under the Housing Acts by direct labour, by local authorities in England and Wales, up to the 30th September last, was 51,472, and 3,984 such houses were under construction by 41 local authorities at that date. I will send a list of the 41 local authorities to the hon. Member.
