HC Deb 09 December 1929 vol 233 c65W
Mr. GRANVILLE

asked the Minister of Health if he is prepared to consider area schemes for providing employment in the building of rural cottages and the provision of a system for the supply of drinking water in villages?

Miss LAWRENCE

My right hon. Friend proposes to give special consideration to the question of rural housing in connection with forthcoming legislation. As regards rural water supplies, my right hon. Friend will be prepared to consider any schemes and I may point out that the Government have recently announced special terms of assistance as part of their unemployment proposals.
