Sir H. YOUNG

I have received proposals from local authorities for giving guarantees in respect of approximately 13,000 houses. I shall not, however, be in possession of information as to the number of houses for which guarantees have been given until I receive the returns due from local authorities on the 31st December next.

Sir F. FREMANTLE

Will these returns give any idea of the rentals of these houses, if they are let at weekly rentals?

Sir H. YOUNG

It will certainly give an idea of them.

Sir F. FREMANTLE

Major NATHAN

How many of the 13,000 houses are in the Metropolitan Police district and how many in the rest of England and Wales?

Sir H. YOUNG

I can give particulars of the areas. I will circulate them in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
