HC Deb 23 June 1947 vol 439 c13
87. Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Health what is the sum allowed for the provision of lighting plugs in the smallest type of permanent prefabricated houses; and whether this will provide the number of plugs recommended in the Housing Manual.

Mr. Snow (Lord of the Treasury)

I have been asked to reply. In the priced bill agreed as the basis of contract, the figure is £27 6s. 3d. The answer to the second part of the Question is, "Yes, Sir."

Mr. Bossom

Will the representative of the Minister of Health inform him that the majority of houses being built at the present time have not half the number which is recommended in the Housing Manual, and that it will be injurious to the sight of the people concerned? Cannot he have the recommendation properly carried out?

Mr. Snow

I will see that my right hon. Friend is notified of the hon. Member's allegation.
