HC Deb 05 May 1920 vol 128 c2103W
Dr. M'DONALD

asked the Minister of Health if in assessing the Government grant for house-building he will consider the claims of those builders who, in the hope that they might qualify for the subsidy when the houses were completed, commenced building before the subsidy became operative?

Dr. ADDISON

This question was very fully considered when the Housing (Additional Powers) Bill was before Parliament, and I have no power to vary the terms of the Act.
