HC Deb 28 September 1944 vol 403 cc428-9W
Dr. Little

asked the Minister of Production whether, as the housing situation is pressing in Northern Ireland, he will do everything in his power towards expediting the delivery of the required materials for the erection and repair of houses and provide as many temporary houses as possible for occupation at the earliest possible moment.

Mr. Garro Jones

As regards permanent houses my right hon. Friend knows of no difficulty in the supply of materials to meet Northern Ireland's needs and he will continue to do all he can to allocate sufficient to cover the programme. As regards temporary houses it is not at present possible to add anything to the reply given to the hon. Member for Belfast, West (Mr. Beattie) by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works on 24th May last.
