asked the Minister of Health in which villages in East Suffolk it is intended to build cottages under his recently announced scheme and how many in each; and whether he will consider the special claims of Stradbroke, Suffolk?

The following numbers of cottages have been allocated to Rural Districts in East Suffolk:

Blyth	…	…	12
Deben	…	…	4
Gipping	…	…	4
Hartismere	…	…	6
Lothingland	…	…	6
Samford	…	…	—
Wainford	…	…	14

I am not yet in a position to say in which villages in these districts the cottages will be built, but I have no doubt that the Hartismere Rural District Council, in consultation with the County War Agricultural Executive Committee, will give full consideration to the claims of the village of Stradbroke, in relation to the claims of other villages in the rural district.
