HC Deb 19 March 1942 vol 378 c1659
76. Mr. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Health how many Maycrete huts for war nurseries are now erected; and whether he is satisfied with their suitability for this purpose?

Mr. E. Brown

The number of Maycrete huts so far ordered for war-time nurseries by local authorities is approximately 400. The majority of these have been delivered and are being erected. Reports so far received show that the huts can be made suitable for the purpose.

Mr. Lindsay

Is it not true that these huts have been turned down by the Building Research Station on behalf of the War Office?

Mr. Brown

That is a question for the Supply Departments.
