Mr Lewis Haslam: ...as soon as possible what proportion land bears of the cost of housing. The President of the Local Government Board did not appear to be quite clear whether the estimate also included the cost of sewerage and paving, and so forth. As his statement was indefinite, I trust that in his reply he will be able to tell us something of a more practical nature. I rose more particularly to emphasise...

Sir Francis Fremantle: ...Romford, and we ask for leave to get those three bodies working together, and for us to get our sewage scheme started. How are you going to engage in an expenditure of something like £500,000 for sewerage, with no ratepayers to pay? Ilford does not want to pay out of its rate for the sewerage of this town to be occupied by people not coming from Ilford. The same with Barking. Romford...
Mr Austen Chamberlain: ..., if he came down to this Bench, would make a stand against demands by others in a comparable position. There is a similar authority in my own district in the Midlands, not for water, but for sewerage. Their mortgages, if they have any, are not trustee securities. How could I resist their demand to have that privilege extended to them if the House grants it to this particular body? Water...

Mr William Lunn: ...of public advantage, I say there is no question of public advantage in including these districts in the city of Leeds. They are absolutely independent and self-contained. They have their own sewerage schemes and they drain away from the city. The people who live in these districts are miners and railwaymen, and neither coalpits nor coal measures come over the city boundary. They are not...
Mr. THOMSON: Is my right hon. Friend serious? Is that another example of his arithmetic? He suggests that £300 per house is to be added for road making, sewerage, and so on.
Mr Anderson Barlow: ...with the loans scheme £19,000,000, or, roughly, £30,000,000 in jill. The schemes have varied very much in their character, from providing baths to arranging for burial grounds, and from sewerage works to swimming pools. Probably 200,000 men have been engaged during the two years for a longer or shorter period of time. At the beginning of this winter 30,000 men were employed on these...
