HC Deb 02 March 1925 vol 181 c44W
Major GLYN

asked the Minister of Health whether he will institute a system of registering the houses of the working classes in order to prevent such dwellings being acquired as week-end cottages or otherwise used by persons who contribute in no special manner for the provision of alternate accommodation for the persons and families thus dispossessed?

Mr. N. CHAMBERLAIN

I cannot see my way to adopt this suggestion. I am afraid that the cost of compiling such a register, and the practical difficulties of classification involved, would outweigh any possible advantages.
