HC Deb 01 August 1940 vol 363 c1400
47. Mr. Levy

asked the Prime Minister whether it is intended to create a Ministry of Building or whether the idea is to incorporate some organisation of this nature in a general Ministry of Reconstruction after victory has been won?

49. Sir P. Hurd

asked the Prime Minister whether, in planning a Ministry of Building, full use will be made of architects, so as to ensue good design and economical lay-out in all future construction?

Mr. Attlee

The question whether any changes are desirable during the war in the present distribution of responsibility for Government building work is being considered. In this connection the point raised by my hon. Friend the Member for Devizes (Sir P. Hurd) will be borne in mind. I cannot say now what arrangement may be necessary after the war.
