§ 56. Mr. Odeyasked the Minister of Agriculture the cost of the houses being built for agricultural workers in connection with the experimental farm at High Mowthorpe, Yorkshire; and how this compares with the standard council house.
§ Mr. ChampionThe contract price for this pair of houses is £3,550. This includes a sewage disposal system to meet the needs of three pairs of houses in all. The fact that these houses are a single pair built in an extremely isolated area means that no useful purpose would be served by comparing their cost with that of houses provided by local authorities.
