| AdminHistory | This sub-committee was previously known as the Housing and Finance Sub-Committee, and reported to the Housing and Town Planning Committee (see BCC/1/BL). In November 1918, the committee was renamed the Housing Sub-Committee, and its duties turned over completely to the question of housing, especially as the war was coming to an end and soldiers were to be demobilised. Lloyd George’s coalition Government won the 1918 general election overwhelmingly and set about building a ‘land fit for heroes’, with 200,000 houses built in the period 1919 to 1922. In 1919 the sub-committee became a part of the Housing and Estates Committee. |
