HC Deb 09 December 1948 vol 459 c550
43. Mr. Orr-Ewing

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the urgent necessity for increasing the tempo and reducing the cost of house-building, he will revise the arrangements in Circular 108/48 which forbid the issue of licences to private builders otherwise than single licences for single houses or pairs of semi-detached houses for specific occupiers.

Mr. Bevan

These arrangements were made in order to ensure that each licence is related to a particular building. There is no objection to applications being made for a series of licences.
