HC Deb 24 April 1947 vol 436 c135W
104. Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Minister of Health how many local authorities are building houses for their staffs so that these are put in an advantageous position over the rest of the community; and what is the limit of value put on the construction of these houses for the use of administrative staff and manual workers, respectively.

Mr. Bevan

Loans have been sanctioned for the erection of 91 houses by nine county councils acting in pursuance of their powers under Section 97 of the Housing Act, 1936. There is no subsidy involved.
