23. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Health the cost of erection on site of the aluminium houses; the total number ordered; and the total loss, and the loss per house, to the taxpayer.

The Minister of Health (Mr. Aneurin Bevan)

I would refer the hon. Member to the replies given to the hon. Member for Hornsey (Mr. Gammans) on 24th and 31st October.

Sir W. Smithers

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether there has been a loss on these houses or not?

Mr. Bevan

If the hon. Member will examine the replies, he will find the information there.

Sir W. Smithers

Is it not information which could be given openly here before the House of Commons?

Mr. Bevan

The information was given openly in the replies.
