HC Deb 28 November 1946 vol 430 c1764
34. Mr. Collins

asked the Minister of Health if he will arrange for completed permanent houses in rural areas, to have the same priority with regard to allocation of baths as temporary prefabricated houses.

Mr. Bevan

Special priority is already being given to all permanent houses which were up to or beyond eaves level at 31st August, 1946. Baths are being supplied for temporary houses under direct Government orders, but I understand that deliveries against these orders are nearly complete, and that there are now sufficient baths available to meet all urgent demands for permanent houses.
