MILLION HOUSES
BUILT SINCE ARMISTICE BRITAIN'S GREAT ACHIEVEMENT. NATION OF OWNERS INSTEAD OF TENANTS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received 29, 11.15 a.m.) Rugby, Sept. 28. One million houses have been built in this country since the armistice and nearly 35,000 of these without any subsidy. Sir Kingsley Wood, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health, gave these facts to-day in a review of the housing position. He said that no other country had made such progress or had expended such vast sums for the benefit of the houseless and badly housed. It was a world record and the greatest social contribution that had been made in this country since the war. One of the best features of the situation, he said, was. that we were more and more becoming a nation of house-owners instead merely of housetenants.
