Labour Party Housing Leaflet 1923


Labour Party Housing leaflet 1923

A LABOUR GOVERNMENT

will provide

MORE HOUSES
BETTER HOUSES
REAL HOUSES
AT
REASONABLE RENTS


There is a shortage of 800,000 houses


The Tories will not and cannot give you the houses you need because they rely on "private enterprise"
which means that if you want a house now you must pay extortionate rents.

Labour aims at providing everybody with good houses at a reasonable rents.

Labour stands for the Abolition of all slums; for town planning; for labour saving houses for the housewife; for healthy, open air surroundings; for reasonable rents

Labour stands four square against Tory policy pf "Hutches for heroes", against unhealthy streets and towns; against profiteering in rents

Why does the Tory Government shirk that duty ?

Because it is in the power of the landlords and their friends - people who want to line their own pockets at the expense of the workers
