HC Deb 25 May 1936 vol 312 cc1648-9
Mr. HOLLAND

asked the Minister of Health whether he can give the percentage figures of the rural district councils and urban district councils which have entered upon schemes of house building suitable for old people?

Sir K. WOOD

At the present moment my information on this head covers only the last two years. During that period proposals to erect dwellings suitable for old people were approved in the case of 92 urban districts (or 14 per cent.) and 47 rural districts (or 9.7 per cent.).
