25. Miss Wardasked the Minister of Health whether, to give equal opportunities to view to future housewives in all parts of the country, he will take steps to see that the houses erected at Northolt are erected in the North of England as well as Coventry and Birmingham.
§ Mr. WillinkThe houses at Northolt were built by my noble Friend the Minister of Works, to demonstrate various methods of construction and house plans and to investigate costs. My Noble Friend could not undertake to repeat that demonstration. The experimental houses at Coventry and Birmingham are, in fact, of a different type and I am prepared to consider applications from local authorities to erect experimental houses if they so desire.
