HC Deb 06 April 1914 vol 60 cc1636-7W
Mr. ROYDS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the figures showing the sums advanced by the Public Works Loan Commissioners for the year ending 31st March, 1914, for the erection of dwelling-houses and the number of houses erected by means such advances?

Mr. MONTAGU

I cannot state the number of dwellings actually erected during the year 1913–14, but the amount of the loans approved by the Public Works Loan Commissioners in the year was £1,032,746, and the number of dwellings to be erected by means of those loans was 5,130.
