§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAMasked the Minister of Health whether the general fall in prices has been reflected in the cheaper construction of subsidy houses; and what was the average price of a council subsidy house in 1930 as compared with the average price for a similar house erected by private enterprise?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThere has been a substantial fall in housing costs over the last six years. The average cost of building non-parlour houses provided by local authorities in England and Wales during 1930 was £340. I regret that information as to the cost of houses erected by private enterprise is not available.
