HC Deb 11 November 1926 vol 199 cc1293-4W
Mr. TINKER

asked the Minister of Health if he has received a resolution from the Tyldesley District Council urging the Ministry of Health to require

many of these have been built with the aid of the subsidy?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The following table shows the approximate numbers of houses completed since the War in England, Scotland and Wales:

boards of guardians to raise money granted by them in relief in cases due to industrial disputes by means of loans repayable over a term of years instead of making immediate calls on overseers of the poor for such money or, in the alternative, to authorise overseers of the poor to raise money called for by the guardians for this purpose by similar means; and what he intends to do in the matter?

Sir K. WOOD

My right hon. Friend has received this resolution. In suitable cases he is consenting to abnormal expenditure of guardians being spread over a short period of years.
