Mr. James Griffithsasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that houses with vacant possession are being offered for sale at double and treble their pre-war values; and, as many persons are compelled to buy houses owing to the shortage of accommodation, what steps he proposes to take to prevent this exploitation of the housing shortage?
§ Mr. E. BrownI am having this whole question examined, and I hope to be in a position to make a statement on it shortly.
