§ 13. Sir I. Alberyasked the Minister without Portfolio whether in addition to a long-term housing policy the Government are also preparing plans for a short-term policy of temporary housing; and, if so, what industries are being called upon for assistance in this work?
§ The Minister without Portfolio (Sir William Jowitt)Yes, Sir. Plans for temporary housing are now being worked out, and, as soon as conclusions are reached on the issues of policy involved, all the interests concerned will be consulted.
§ Sir I. AlberyCan the right hon. and learned Gentleman say what industries are being called in specially to assist?
§ Sir W. JowittI cannot say until we have got the details of these plans, but all the industries concerned will be called into consultation.
§ Sir I. AlberyDoes the right hon. and learned Gentleman mean the building industries? My question applies specially to industries outside the building industry?
§ Sir W. JowittIt is obvious that for temporary housing industries outside the building industry may be concerned, and so far as they are they will be consulted.
