HC Deb 29 May 1951 vol 488 c33
69. Brigadier Rayner

asked the Minister of Local Government and Planning whether he will encourage the building of one-bedroom houses, especially in rural areas, by issuing instructions that they will count in future as half units of accommodation.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Local Government and Planning (Mr. Lindgren)

No, Sir, my right hon. Friend does not think this would be convenient. Encouragement is already given by the payment of the same subsidy for houses of all sizes.
