Mr. A. T. DAVIESasked the Minister of Health whether, having regard to the urgent necessity of additional dwelling-houses being provided for the working classes in every industrial centre, he has now taken powers to control the priority of building, and to delay schemes for providing buildings for public amusements and non-essential purposes until the shortage of houses has been removed; and, if not, when he proposes to take such powers?
§ Dr. ADDISONI hope to submit to the House proposals for dealing with this question at an early dale.
