HC Deb 28 May 1924 vol 174 cc436-7W
Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE

asked the Minister of Health (1) whether, in view of the desirability of drawing on every source of good will for the solving of the housing problem, he will include practical proposals in the new Housing Bill for the encouragement of public utility societies;

(2) whether he will encourage the formation of new public utility societies for the provision of houses by offering them subsidies and other advantages equal to those offered to local authorities?

Mr. WHEATLEY

In answer to this and the next question put by the hon. and gallant Member, I will give the fullest consideration to the suggestions he has made.
