§ 100. Mr. Edward Daviesasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether, in the forthcoming review of housing finance with the local authorities, he will also review the Small Dwellings Acquisition Acts, and the effect of the increased Bank Rate upon that scheme.
§ Mr. H. MacmillanThe forthcoming review is a review under the provisions of Section 16 of the Housing (Financial and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1946. It does not extend to the rate of interest on advances under the Small Dwellings Acquisition Acts. These advances, of course, have never involved any question of direct subsidy.
