§ Captain FOXCROFTasked the Minister of Health the approximate average difference in cost and in time of erection between an approved workman's dwelling built in the ordinary way and under Lord Weir's system?

Mr. CHAMBERLAINIt will not be possible to make any final comparison of costs between Weir houses and brick houses until the Weir houses are being produced and erected in considerable quantities, but I hope that the experiments to be carried out will demonstrate at once that these houses can be provided for occupation in a much shorter time than ordinary brick houses.
