§ 35. Sir T. Mooreasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied that the housing policy of his Department will meet the immediate needs of post-war Scotland.
Mr. JohnstonThe Scottish Housing Advisory Committee's Report places Scotland's housing needs at 500,000 and our specially urgent requirements at 166,000 houses. It will take us three years, building at double the pre-war rate, to reach the latter figure. But the Government's policy through prefabrication and building up a large labour force is to reach that target in the first three years after the war.
§ Sir T. MooreMy right hon. Friend has not, if I may say so with respect, answered my Question. I asked him if he was satisfied.
Major LloydWill my right hon. Friend do his utmost to remove all the present handicaps to private enterprise in housing?
