Housing Bill

38.

Sir JOHN SPEAR
asked the President of the Board of Agriculture if, under the Government Housing Bill, police con stables will be regarded as Government employés, and houses be built for them?

Mr. RUNCIMAN
Police constables are not Government employés for the purposes of Clause 2 of the Bill, but there is no reason why they should not occupy houses provided under Clause 1 in agricultural districts.
