§ Sir K. WOODasked the Minister of Health what is the average amount of the housing tenders being received by the local authorities this month; and whether there is any increase in amount over the previous two months?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYLocal authorities are not required to submit to my Department tenders received for the erection of houses, and I have, therefore, no particulars as to tenders received this month. Returns are obtained monthly showing the prices of houses in contracts let during the month, and for England and Wales the average prices during the last two months for which information is available were as follow:
Non-parlour. Parlour. March … … £416 £459 April … … £425 £440
