§ Mr. MILLSasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that wooden houses built to house Hanoverian troops during the Napoleonic Wars are still standing and in use; and whether, in view of the urgent and pressing need for houses and the proved success of wooden structures as a temporary measure, he will consider the possibility of their immediate construction and allocation from a central factory for each area?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYI am aware that wooden houses may be constructed in such a manner and with such quality of timber as would result in great durability, and I am prepared to consider any proposals that may be made to me by local authorities for the erection of such houses. I do not, however, see my way to adopt the method of supplying them proposed by my hon. Friend.
