Housing
progress in
Greater

Returns as to the progress of housing in Greater London since the war are
submitted to the Council periodically. The latest return for 1929 brings the figures
up to 31st December, 1929.
The total number of new houses and flats provided in Greater London during
the whole period from 1920 to 1929 inclusive was 243,616, which includes 78,634
provided by local authorities. The number provided during 1929 was 42,601,
of which 8,451 were provided by local authorities.
Rent
Restriction
Acts—
Continuance.
The question of the continuance of the Rent Restriction Acts was raised during
the year, but as it appeared likely that H.M. Government would provide for the
continuance of the Acts in their present form for another year, i.e., until 25th December,
1930, the Council decided to take no action in the matter for the present.
Workmen's
trains.
The Council's action with regard to workmen's trams and workmen's fares
is dealt with in the Annual Reports for earlier years.
