HC Deb 13 July 1944 vol 401 cc1886-7
44. Mr. Manningham-Buller

asked the Minister of Health whether the Report of the Design of Dwellings Sub-Committee of the Central Housing Advisory Committee is to be published; and what action he proposes to take on the Sub-Committee's recommendations.

Mr. Willink

This report will be published on Monday next, 17th July. Copies will be circulated to the local authorities and will also be available in the Vote Office. The main recommendations in the report form the basis of a housing manual for the guidance of local authorities in designing post-war housing schemes which as recommended by the Sub-Committee, has been prepared by my Department and the Ministry of Works with the advice and assistance of the Ministries of Town and Country Planning and of Fuel and Power. This manual will be published as soon as possible.
