HC Deb 27 March 1946 vol 421 cc355-6
28. Mr. Baldwin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the erection of prefabricated houses is being considered in colonies where the housing shortage is acute.

Mr. georģe Hall

Yes, Sir. I have already supplied information on recent methods of prefabricated housing to a number of Colonial Governments which have been considering the possibilities of employing such methods.

Mr. Baldwin

Could the Minister say whether precasting in concrete on the site has been considered for the erection of these houses?

Mr. Hall

I did not quite catch the question.

Mr. Baldwin

Have the Ministry considered precasting on the site in the Colonies?

Mr. Hall

They are giving consideration to every aspect of this question.
