HC Deb 30 June 1953 vol 517 c199
53. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government at what stage between planning and completion a house becomes a new tradition house in his Department's definition.

Mr. Marples

Houses, like skirts, acquire the old or the new look at the drawing-board stage.

Mr. Hurd

Will my hon. Friend tell us at what stage in his Department's parlance a non-traditional house becomes a new tradition house and at what stage a new tradition house becomes a traditional house?

Mr. Marples

A "new tradition" house is the new name for a non-traditional house.
