§ 39. Mr. Bossomasked the Minister of Health if he has yet made a time and progress schedule of the dates at which it will be possible to deliver the Government's emergency houses to the various local authorities so that he can inform those authorities of the date by which they must have their roads, sewers and foundations ready to enable the Government to erect the houses immediately they are available.
§ Mr. WillinkDelivery of temporary houses will be largely determined by the order in which sites are handed over to the Ministry of Works ready for the construction of foundations, local authorities were informed of this arrangement in a circular dated 12th February, of which I will send my hon. Friend a copy.
§ Mr. BossomHas my right hon. and learned Friend made a time and progress schedule of people who have said that they have sites ready, so that there may be some comprehensive understanding of the entire situation?
§ Mr. WillinkI am not sure what would be included in the rather extensive field 391 covered by a time and progress schedule, but I can assure my hon. Friend that the Minister of Works and I are in constant and close consultation and collaboration in the respective functions which his Ministry and the local authorities discharge.
§ Mr. BossomWe cannot get a comprehensive observation of labour and material unless we know what we are going to do. Unless it is properly tabulated we cannot get that information.
