§ 55. Major COLVILLEasked the Minister of Health if he will state if any considerable quantity of imported foreign baths is being used in State-aided housing schemes?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Miss Lawrence)My right hon. Friend has no information on the point raised by the hon. and gallant Member.
§ Major COLVILLEIn view of the fact that some 70,000 foreign baths were imported into this country last year, does he not think that it would be practicable to insist that British articles should be used in State-aided houses?
§ Miss LAWRENCEAs I have repeatedly explained, my right hon. Friend has no power to order in this matter, but circulars of advice have been sent to the local authorities.
§ Major COLVILLEWould it be practicable to seek powers in that matter to order the use of British materials?
