§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAMasked the Minister of Health if his attention has been called to the announcement that thousands of house doors from Russia are about to be offered for sale in this country; and whether, considering the number of carpenters and joiners now unemployed, he will suggest to the local authorities building houses with the aid of a subsidy that they should give preference to British-made doors?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI have seen reports to this effect in the public Press. I have already issued a circular, a copy of which I am sending to the hon. Member, urging local authorities to make use, to the utmost extent practicable, of goods and materials of home production or manufacture.
