§ 64. Mr. Whiteleyasked the hon. and gallant Member for Rye, as representing the Forestry Commissioners, whether it is the intention of the Commissioners to instal electric light in the workers' cottages, seeing that the wires are already attached to the gable-ends of one set of cottages?
§ Sir G. CourthopeIt is the intention of the Forestry Commissioners to wire all their new cottages for electricity in cases where a main supply of electricity is available, or soon likely to be available.
§ 65. Mr. Whiteleyasked the hon. and gallant Member for Rye, as representing the Forestry Commissioners, when the Forestry Commissioners are likely to build new houses at Chopwell Woods to replace the Army huts at present occupied by the workers?
§ Sir G. CourthopeThe Forestry Commissioners are not proposing at present to build new houses at Chopwell to replace the school huts which have been adapted into dwellings and are at present occupied by workers.
§ Mr. WhiteleyIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that the huts existing at the present time are in a very unfit condition, and that it is essential that something should be done as early as possible; and will he have further inquiries made into the matter?
§ Sir G. CourthopeMy information is that the huts are not unfit for dwellings.
