THE HOUSING QUESTION 39 be the result ot this policy ? Not a single house the less will be built for 18 months in England, and for two years in Scotland.” And again in the same speech :— “ We are only now crying a halt—not to stop building. There will not be a single house the less built. On the contrary 'here will be more houses built. . . .” " Not a single house the less.” And in June, eleven months later, more than 80,000 of the building trade are unemployed. Could not these men be building houses, houses that to-day cost £500 or less ? Was it the House of Commons that the Prime Minister was deceiving, or only himself ? The same question may be asked in respect of Sir Alfred Mond. On 14th July, 1921, he made the follow ing deliberate pronouncement to the House of Commons :— “ We are endeavouring to review the situation at a time—and I want the House particularly to note this—at a time when suffi cient contracts have been approved to give occupation for at least 18 months to the whole of the building facilities of the country. The approval of more contracts would not provide in the next 18 months any appreciably increased number of new houses." Eleven months after this statement there is great and increasing unemployment in the building trade, and yet the Government will allow practically no more houses to be begun. The fact of the matter is that the people of England have been deceived, are being deceived, and, if Mr. Lloyd George and Sir Alfred Mond and members of the Cabinet can manage it, will continue to be deceived.
