Administratively, I must still flog the obvious point which from year to year I put before you, which is that the nutrition of people who are unemployed, and their dependants, must be properly co-ordinated.

This means that we have completed our Housing Programme for the period 19331938, save only for a modest number of houses, i.e., under 50.

So far as housing is concerned, I know of no one factor which takes pride of place over the necessity of having a population properly spaced, and I am persuaded that 60 persons per acre is not the ideal at which we should aimβ€”it is an obvious standard which we should always attain.

Wireless sets can cheat many children of their proper sleep, and the more children there are who are out of bed when they should be in bed and the more the streets are turned into playgrounds, so will the quality of the sleep of those who do go to bed early be impaired.
