HC Deb 10 February 1949 vol 461 c90W
84. Mr. Sharp

asked the Minister of Health what factors have determined the grants made under Section 17 of the Housing (Financial and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1946, towards the additional cost of building non-traditional houses; and why he has granted only £325 for each of the 50 British Iron and Steel Federation houses built by the borough of Batley, whereas the additional cost has been not less than £500

Mr. Bevan

The grant is based upon the difference in the tender price between non-traditional and comparable traditional houses. Accordingly, the grant for the 50 British Iron and Steel Federation houses at Batley, allowing for certain modifications will he about £380.
