HC Deb 05 July 1951 vol 489 c233W
56. Mr. Odey

asked 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. Champion

The 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.
