Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Housing. – in the House of Commons at on 12 March 1924.

I regret that the information, in the precise form desired by the hon. Member, is not available, but according to the returns in question, which were obtained from local authorities in 1919, the number of houses stated to be required during the subsequent three years in the areas of rural district councils to meet unsatisfied demands was for England 71,727, and for Wales 11,932. As regards Scotland, I would suggest that the hon. Member should address a question to my right hon. Friend the Secretary for Scotland.
