§ Mr. A. BENNETTasked the Minister of Health the number of houses which have been sanctioned to date under the Housing (No. 2) Act; and also indicate the number which are of the parlour type?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINApprovals have been given to date in respect of 21,052 houses. As local authorities are not required to submit plans and full details when an application for subsidy is made it is not possible to state the number of each type of house at the date of approval. Monthly returns of progress will, however, be obtained from local authorities, and these will show the numbers of non-parlour and parlour houses being erected under approved schemes.
