HC Deb 04 May 1950 vol 474 c1886
26. Dr. Barnett Stross

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the relaxation of building controls which came into effect on 1st July, 1948, has resulted in some areas in the diversion of labour from the building of new houses; and what is he doing to remedy this.

Mr. Bevan

I am not aware that the relaxation has led to any appreciable diversion of labour from the building of new houses; I am prepared to examine any particular case which my hon. Friend may have in mind.
