HC Deb 12 March 1919 vol 113 c1306W
Sir FRANCIS BLAKE

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware of the feeling that exists that the Small Dwellings Acquisition Act, 1899, should be amended, or that its provisions as to the purchase of their houses by tenants should be extended in any future legislation, so that tenants may acquire the ownership of their houses, although the market value exceeds £400;and whether the new Bill will contain a provision to that effect?

Major ASTOR

I would ask my hon. Friend to await the introduction of the Housing Bill, which I hope will be in the hands of hon. Members at the beginning of next week.
