§ 1. Mr. Osborneasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the concrete type house being built in Grimsby is not as popular or satisfactory as the traditional brick type; and, in view of the fact that brick houses can be built as cheaply, if he will ensure that future houses are built of brick.
§ The Minister of Health (Mr. Aneurin Bevan)No, Sir. As regards the general part of the Question, however, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave him on 5th February.
§ Mr. OsborneWould the right hon. Gentleman consult the housewives now living in these concrete houses to obtain their opinion before he has any more built?
§ Mr. H. HyndCan the Minister ensure that future houses are not built on foundations of sand, as were the Tories' coalition plans?
§ Mr. Skeffington-LodgeIs not my right hon. Friend aware that Grimsby is more than adequately represented in the person of the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department; and is this not a piece of "grate crashing" on the part of the hon. Member for Louth (Mr. Osborne).
§ Mr. OsborneIs not the hon. Member aware that I represent 11,000 voters in Grimsby, and that this estate is within my constituency; and will he please withdraw his remarks?
