26. Mr. PRICEasked the Minister of Health if he will furnish a return showing for the years ended 31st March, 1932, and 1933, separately, the houses completed by local authorities with State assistance, by private enterprise with State assistance, and without State assistance, respectively?
Sir H. YOUNGI will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT a statement containing the particulars desired by the hon. Member.
§ Following is the Statement:
Sir H. YOUNGI do not think that what I should call accurate statistical information is necessary on the subject, because constant attention is given to the promotion of conferences where they seem to be needed.
§ Mr. STOREYDoes the right hon. Gentleman know of any instances in which local authorities have refused to call a conference?
Sir H. YOUNGI do not know of any such cases but if it were obvious that a conference would be useful and there was any reluctance on the part of a local authority to act, I should do my best to promote a conference.
