HC Deb 17 February 1938 vol 331 cc2085-6W
Mr. Cocks

asked the Minister of Health whether, in order to expedite the erection of new houses to alleviate overcrowding and to recognise the prompt action taken by those local authorities who are at present erecting houses for this purpose, he will consider making an Exchequer contribution for all such houses completed after 31st March instead of after 31st December, 1938?

Sir K. Wood

I would refer the hon. Member to my observations on this subject during the Debate on the Second Reading of the Housing (Financial Provisions) Bill.
