Agricultural Cottages (Private Enterprise)

HC Deb 28 November 1946 vol 430 cc330-1W

39. Squadron-Leader Donner

asked the Minister of Health whether agricultural cottages, built by private enterprise, count in the one in four proportion allowed against those built by the local authorities.

Mr. Bevan

Yes, Sir. The one in four proportion, however, is intended as a ceiling and the average over the whole country may be less.
