Mr. T. THOMSONasked the Minister of Health if he has formed any estimate of the number of men employed in the decade of 1901–11 in the erection of houses for working classes; and if he has formed any estimate of the number of men that would be required to carry out a programme of 200,000 houses per year during the remainder of the decade 1921–31?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYMaterials are not available for framing a reliable estimate of the number of men employed in the erection of working-class houses during the decade 1901–11. With regard to the last part of the question, the matter is under consideration, and I am unable to make a statement at present.
