§ Mr. Mitchisonasked the Minister of Health when and where Airey houses of the rural type have been inspected by representatives, respectively, of the Kettering and Brixworth Rural District Councils under arrangements made by him; how many of such houses have been ordered, and when, by each of those councils; and whether he will indicate when delivery of houses so ordered may be expected.
§ Mr. BevanThese councils have been invited to inspect houses of the Airey rural type at Welton or at Cheshunt, but I am unaware whether inspection of the houses has yet been made by them. Kettering Rural District Council have not yet ordered any Airey houses. On 19th July, Brixworth Rural District Council ordered components for 30 houses for delivery this year and for 72 houses for delivery next year. The components required this year can be supplied as soon as sites are ready and acceptable tenders for erection have been obtained.
