Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The county councils in England and Wales who have not submitted schemes under the Housing (Rural Workers) Act, 1926, are as follow:

  • Berkshire
  • Buckingham
  • Cambridge
  • Cornwall.
  • Durham.
  • Glamorgan.
  • Hertford.
  • Isle of Ely
  • Isle of Wight.
  • Lincoln (Kesteven).
  • Merioneth
  • Norfolk.
  • Radnor.
  • Shropshire.
  • Soke of Peterborough.
  • Warwick.

In some of these cases it is hoped that schemes will shortly be submitted, but in others the councils of the county districts have been declared the authorities for the purposes of the Act.
