HC Deb 28 November 1946 vol 430 c1761
24. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Health if he will give an estimate of the increase in the present cost of a £1,200 house if the demand for 3s. an hour for all craftsmen in building trades, made by the General Council of the National Federation of Building Trades Operatives, was granted.

Mr. Bevan

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Hertford (Mr. Walker-Smith) on 17th October.

Sir W. Smithers

Is this not typical of the Government's evasiveness and refusal to give information?

Mr. Bevan

It is typical of the repetitiveness of the hon. Member.
