HC Deb 27 April 1920 vol 128 c1068W
Mr. W. THORNE

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the Bromley (Kent) Council have decided to suspend all building operations on the garden city suburb on 1st May, unless the Government can see their way clear to finance the scheme; that at the meeting of the council it was stated that the council were unable to proceed with the housing scheme because only £75,000 had been subscribed out of the £350,000 required in housing bonds; and if he will take action in the matter?

Dr. ADDISON

I see no reason why the Bromley Council should not proceed with their scheme, as I have no reason to think that they will not be able, with the help, if necessary, of the County Council, to obtain the money they require.
