HC Deb 21 March 1918 vol 104 cc1225-6W
Major COURTHOPE

asked the President of the Local Government Board when effect will be given to the promise made by his predecessor in office that, in respect of the provision of housing for their employés, county councils should be placed in the same financial position as local authorities under the Housing Acts?

Mr. HAYES FISHER

A Bill to give effect to the proposal indicated in the hon. and gallant Member's question is now under consideration, and I hope to introduce it soon after the Easter Recess.
