Sir H. YOUNG

The numbers of houses reconditioned in England and Wales under the Housing (Rural Workers) Acts, 1926 and 1931, were 869 in the year 1933 and 1,120 in the year 1932.

Captain HEILGERS

In view of the unsatisfactory position disclosed by the right hon. Gentleman's reply, will he consider calling a conference of the chairmen of county councils at the earliest opportunity and inviting their immediate co-operation?

Sir H. YOUNG

I will certainly take the hon. Member's suggestion into consideration.
