HC Deb 25 March 1929 vol 226 cc2092-3W
Mr. KELLY

asked the Minister of Health what steps have been taken under the Housing Acts of 1923 and 1924 to build houses by the corporations of Wandsworth, Hastings, Felixstowe, Cardiff and Hendon?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The following numbers of houses had been erected up to the 1st instant by the local authorities in question under the Acts of 1923 and 1924:

Wandsworth M.B.G. 468
Cardiff C.B.C 2,008
Hastings C.B.C 262
Felixstowe U.D.C 38
Hendon U.D.C 109
Each of these authorities also erected houses under the Act of 1919; and in the case of Wandsworth it will be appreciated that the large schemes undertaken by the London County Council include provision for the needs of Metropolitan boroughs.

Mr. DAY

asked the Minister of Health the number of persons in England and Wales of the total private family population who are living more than two per room?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The latest available figures are contained in Table XXVI of the General Report upon the Census of 1921 to which I would refer the hon. Member.
