§ Mr. MacVEAGHasked the Minister of Health whether the grants to private persons constructing houses under the Housing (Additional Powers) Act, 1919, are limited, either in Great Britain or in Ireland, to boroughs and urban districts; and, if so, on what grounds rural districts are excluded?
§ Dr. ADDISONSo far as England and Wales is concerned the answer is in the negative. I would remind the hon. Member that housing in Scotland and Ireland does not come within the purview of my department.
