§ 22. Mr. MITCHESONasked the Minister of Health if he can furnish an estimate of the sum advanced by building societies in the year ended 31st March, 1934, to facilitate building operations under the provisions of the Housing Acts?
Sir H. YOUNGI have no information except in so far as advances are made in respect of houses erected with the help of guarantees given in pursuance of Section 2 of the Housing Act, 1933. For this limited purpose the advances made by building societies up to 31st March, 1934, amounted to £442,360.
