§ Major Carverasked the Minister of Health what is the present policy of his Department with regard to the discretion given to local authorities under Section 2 (3) of the Housing (Rural Workers) Act, with regard to the giving of financial assistance for reconditioning agricultural workers' cottages; and whether he has made it clear that such work must continue during the war?
§ Mr. ElliotAs I have already stated in reply to an earlier question on the subject, I have given, and shall certainly continue to give, even during the war, the most sympathetic consideration to proposals under the Housing (Rural Workers) Acts, especially where the proposals include the provision of additional accommodation.
