HC Deb 15 December 1932 vol 273 cc499-500
27. Mr. WHITE

asked the Minister of Health if the inter-departmental committee to survey the prices of building materials is still in being; and, if so, whether he has received any report on recent price movements?

Sir H. YOUNG

The answer to both parts of the question is in the affirmative.

Sir PERCY HARRIS

Is the right hon. Gentleman satisfied that this committee is watching the formation of trusts such as we understand are again coming into being, especially for dealing with light castings?

Sir H. YOUNG

Yes. That is specifically one of the functions of the committee.

Mr. WHITE

Does the right hon. Gentleman expect to have a reply from them in the near future?
