HC Deb 12 November 1940 vol 365 cc1607-8W
Sir A. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for War whether full use is being made of the artisan and Auxiliary Military Pioneer companies to erect Nissen and similar huts for the troops; and whether he is aware that the present policy of insisting on such work being put out to contract is proving most unsatisfactory, dilatory and expensive?

Mr. Eden

Artisan works companies and Pioneer companies are being employed in erecting hutting, so far as they can be made available for the purpose.
