HC Deb 19 March 1925 vol 181 c2493W
Sir C. MORRISON-BELL

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the fact that a candidate for an urban district council is disqualified as a candidate if he should at the time be erecting a house under the Government subsidy scheme, he proposes to take any action to remove this disqualification?

Mr. NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN

I have been asked to reply. This disqualification arises under the Local Government Act, 1894, and could not be removed without legislation, which I am afraid I see no prospect of introducing at present.
