HC Deb 15 June 1920 vol 130 c1106W
Mr. SITCH

asked the Minister of Health the proportion, if any, of applications under the National Housing Scheme for powers to build houses for the professional classes, as compared with applications for other types of dwellings?

Dr. ADDISON

The Housing Acts, under which the local authorities and other bodies are now operating, apply only to the provision of houses for the working classes. The term "working classes" is, however, not defined, and local authorities have been recommended to give the term a liberal interpretation.
