HC Deb 20 February 1940 vol 357 cc1136-7
63. Mr. Jennings

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the contract to erect Army hutments in County Durham is on a basis of wages and materials plus a percentage for profit; and how much longer is it going to take for completion?

Mr. Stanley

Three separate contracts are in progress. The first will be completed in a few days; the second in about three weeks; and the third in about six weeks. All three contracts were placed on a fixed price basis.
