LOCAL AUTHORITIES (LIABILITY).

HC Deb 20 November 1919 vol 121 cc1169-70W

MR. E. WOOD

asked the Minister of Health whether the State will bear all the loss on housing in excess of the produce of a 1d. rate?

Dr. ADDISON

Local authorities will not be called upon to bear more than the proceeds of a 1d. rate unless they have failed to charge sufficient rents or make adequate arrangements for supervision, management or administration.
