§ 67. Mr. Geoffrey Cooperasked the Minister of Works what tonnage of steel it is estimated will be needed for the temporary and permanent types of houses so far projected which have yet to be built.
§ Mr. TomlinsonIn view of present un certainties, I am not in a position to give an estimate.
§ Mr. CooperWill my right hon. Friend keep the situation under review to see that no undue quantities of steel are diverted to houses, in view of his statement, in a recent speech reported in the Press, that the supply of bricks is no longer a bottle neck in holding up the housing drive?
§ Mr. TomlinsonThere is constant super vision from that point of view.
§ Sir Ralph GlynIs the Minister satisfied that all the steel which can possibly be used has been taken away from blitzed buildings?
§ Mr. TomlinsonNo, Sir; I will look at this point.
