The Housing (Financial and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1946 (9 & 10 Geo. 6. c. 48) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that provided large subsidies for the construction of council housing. This resulted in the completion of over 800,000 local authority houses by 1951.
The whole act was repealed by section 108(4) of, and schedule 11 to, the Housing Finance Act 1972, which came into force on 27 July 1972.
