HC Deb 18 May 1965 vol 712 c198W
Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many discretionary subsidies for agricultural cottages have been provided by the Dorset County Council in each of the last four years.

Mr. Crossman

The number of new, private agricultural dwellings for which discretionary subsidies were authorised by county district councils in the area of the Dorset County Council in each of the last four years for which figures are available was:

Number of Dwellings
1960–61 13
1961–62 11
1962–63 12
1963–64 4

The county council, not being a housing authority, cannot make these payments.
