HC Deb 12 October 1944 vol 403 c1939
71. Mr. W. J. Brown

asked the Minister of Health if local authorities are satisfied that they have in their service, or readily available, a sufficient number of professional and technical officers to enable them to bring to a speedy conclusion the works of survey, lay out and design, that must be completed before contracts for house building can be put out to tender.

Mr. Willink

No, Sir. But every effort is being made to help local authorities to get the staff they need.
