HC Deb 22 June 1936 vol 313 cc1397-8
1. Mr. DAY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he will give particulars as to the number of additional quarters made available to officers and their families for housing purposes in the Peshawar district of the North-West Frontier Province of India during the last three years; and whether the shortage of bungalows in this district for housing officers still continues?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Butler)

I am asking the Government of India for the particulars desired by the hon. Member; meanwhile I can assure him that the position has considerably improved in recent years.

Mr. DAY

Can the Minister say whether he considers it satisfactory, or has he received any complaints?

Mr. BUTLER

I think that the hon. Member may take it that the position has considerably improved. Naturally, it is not completely satisfactory.
