§ Mr. THOMAS DAVIESasked the President of the Local Government Board what financial assistance the Government are prepared to grant to county councils towards loss incurred by them in consequence of building houses for their employés; is he aware that the proposed Grant to housing authorities of assistance towards the deficiency on their housing schemes above the equivalent of a penny rate will not be suitable in the case of county councils; and that in Gloucester-shire no relief would be obtained by the county council until the deficiency exceeded £7,000, the produce of a penny rate?
§ Dr. ADDISONThe matter is under consideration in connection with the Regulations to be made under Clause 6 of the Housing and Town Planning Bill.
