§ 30. Mr. Sparksasked the Minister of Health which county councils are making annual contributions under Section 8 of the Housing (Financial and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1946; what are the separate amounts contributed and in respect of how many houses.
§ Mr. BevanI regret that I am unable to supply the names of the county councils or the number of houses, since the local housing authority will not normally inform me when a county council commences to make a contribution which it is liable to make under Section 8 (1) of the Act of 1946. The amount of the contribution is £1 10s. per house annually for 60 years. No application has been made for my consent to the payment of a contribution under Section 8 (2) of the Act.
