The Government would like to see a complete return to normal conditions, with ng Tent restriction and no State housing scheme, but they recognised that at the moment this was impossible. It was im- possible because there still existed an neute shortage, and until this was met there must be a certain amount of State assistance. said: Why not rely entirely on

after thaith regard to the assistance proposed

proposed to be given we should certainly not go back to

the 1919 scheme. That scheme had thres | cardinal defects:

of State was un-

limited, the liability of the local authorities being limited to a penny rate.

2. A great scheme of building having been announced all over the country prices were forced

up to a tremendous úgure, and, although they had since come down after the scheme was stopped, they were still too high.

3. The fact that the State liability was unlimited involved a tremendous amount of control and interference from White- hall.

These three defects must be avoided in fature. What the Government proposed was a limited subsidy per house for a period, of years, which would be calculated to represent half the loss, the local authority making up the other half. The scheme should be limited to the smallest typo
