§ 19. Air-Commodore Harveyasked the Minister of Health how many cottages for farm workers are being erected in Cheshire during 1948; and what progress is being made.
§ Mr. BevanI regret that information in this form is not available. Tenants are not chosen until houses are near completion.
§ Air-Commodore HarveyDoes the Minister realise that his answer will give great disappointment in Cheshire; and will he try to give this information, so that farmers can look ahead and plan their farming?
§ Mr. BevanAs I say, it is not possible for me to say how many houses are set aside for agricultural workers until rural authorities themselves have awarded the tenancies. I am not a clairvoyant.
