HC Deb 19 July 1922 vol 156 cc2094-5W
Mr. T. THOMSON

asked the Minister of Health if he will give the figures submitted by each of the local authorities under Section 1 of the Housing and Town Planning Act of 1919 of their estimate of need of the number of houses required to be built in their respective areas?

Sir A. MOND

As I have on various occasions informed the hon. Member, I cannot regard the result of this survey as an index of the present effective demand for houses, and in the circumstances I do not think that the labour and expense of printing the Return suggested would be justified.
