§ 13. Mr. Frank Andersonasked the Minister of Health how many men are employed on the housing site at Smith- 1617 field, Egremont; and whether he is satisfied that the number of workmen now employed is sufficient to meet the demands made according to the building programme.
§ Mr. BevanSixteen men are employed on site preparation. There is no outstanding demand for labour, but I am watching progress to ensure that preparatory work will be sufficiently advanced to allow house building to begin when a contract is let.
