HC Deb 01 March 1937 vol 321 c21
49. Mr. Sandys

asked the Minister of Health what was the average number of dwellings built per week by the London County Council during the eight years ending 31st March, 1934, and the average number built since that date?

Mr. R. S. Hudson

The number of dwellings built during the eight-year period referred to represents a weekly average of 103. The number built in the -period 1st April, 1934, to 31st January, 1937, represents a weekly average of approximately 97.

Mr. Sandys

Do not these figures show that during the last three years, in spite of added encouragement from the Government, the building record of the London County Council has actually slightly deteriorated?

Mr. T. Johnston

Is it in order for an lion. Member to use this House for the purpose of propaganda on the eve of the London County Council elections?
