Sir K. WOOD

asked the Minister of Health the number of houses since June, 1929, up to the latest convenient date each month on which work has been finished or in progress under the Housing (Rural Workers) Act by local authorities, and similar information up to June, 1928 and 1929, respectively, or the nearest convenient dates?

The following statement shows the number of dwellings on which work was finished during each quarter since that ended 30th June, 1927, and the number on which work was in progress at the end of each such quarter.
