HC Deb 22 March 1920 vol 127 cc70-1W
Mr. T. DAVIES

asked the Minister of Health whether the Cirencester rural district council's plans and the contractor's tender for the erection of houses have been approved by his Department; and, although work has commenced, is he aware that it will cease almost immediately, as the. Ministry has not forwarded either money or any guarantee which will enable the council's bankers to advance the necessary funds to pay the contractor?

Dr. ADDISON

The answer to the first part of my hon. Friend's question is in the affirmative. My Department have recommended the Public Works Loan Commissioners to advance the money required by the local authority, and the local authority have been informed to that effect.
