Mr. Osborne
asked the Minister of Local Government and Planning what is the estimated total cost of rent subsidies, including local and national accounts.
The Minister of Local Government and Planning
(Mr. Dalton)
About £60 million for 1950–51.
Mr. Osborne
Is there any financial ceiling to this subsidy, as in the case of the food subsidies and in the case of the Health Services? If not, are these sums likely to be extended in the coming years?
Mr. Dalton
The amount of the subsidy depends on the number of houses built.
Mr. Osborne
Is there any limit to the subsidies?
