HC Deb 06 December 1945 vol 416 c2506
29. Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Health if he will arrange an exhibition of the fittings, fixtures, materials and/or drawings and specifications of all of these, which the Government are ordering in bulk for use during the housing emergency.

Mr. Bevan

Proposals for an exhibition of standard materials and fittings are under consideration.

Mr. Bossom

Will the Minister at the same time quote the prices the Government are paying for each of these, so that we may have some explanation of the abnormal cost of these temporary houses?

Mr. Bevan

I am prepared to quote the price of Government produced goods alongside the price of privately produced goods, if that will satisfy hon. Members.
