HC Deb 28 November 1946 vol 430 c331W
41. Mr. Gooch

asked the Minister of Health if he will take steps to ensure that, in the provision by rural district councils of new houses for letting in rural districts, the claims of farmworkers are not overlooked in view of the importance of increasing the permanent labour force on the land.

Mr. Bevan

Special subsidy is payable in respect of houses built by rural district councils for agricultural workers. I think that councils generally are alive to the very real needs of such workers.
