HC Deb 06 May 1924 vol 173 c247W
Sir K. WOOD

asked the Minister of Health what advances, respectively, have taken place since January in the cost of house building; and what increase is thereby involved in the cost of erection of working-class houses?

Mr. GREENWOOD

There have been no material advances in the costs of building since January. The total increases in the cost of construction warranted by such general advances as there have been would not exceed £5 10s. a house.
