HC Deb 23 January 1947 vol 432 cc79-80W
91. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Health how many of the houses constructed or under construction by rural district councils have now been allocated to farmworkers and will qualify for the higher rate of subsidy.

Mr. Bevan

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Banbury (Mr. Dodds-Parker) on 28th November last, of which I am sending him a copy.

96. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Health if he will circularise rural district councils, asking them to consult with A.E.Cs to make the necessary provision for farmworkers' houses to he built in the areas where increased accommodation is most urgently needed in the interests of food production.

Mr. Bevan

I would refer the hon. Member to Circular 25/46 addressed to local authorities on 25th January, 1946, a copy of which I am sending to him.
