Housing

3 Volumes

Contains the Select Committee Reports of 1881-82 and the important Royal Commission Report of 1884-85. Witnesses connected with every aspect of housing gave evidence: important public figures such as Lord Shaftesbury, Joseph Chamberlain and Octavia Hill, local government representatives, medical officers of health, representatives of building societies and charitable trusts and working-class representatives. These reports provide a detailed account of the housing situation in the context of legislation passed since the 1850s, and range from aspects such as overcrowding and poor sanitation, to finance and the role of local and central government authorities.
