§ Mr. Craven-Ellisasked the Minister of Health if he will consider adopting a long-term building policy of, say, 50 to 80 years, so that there will be a regular number of properties built and demolished annually, thereby avoiding slumps and booms which contribute considerably to high costs of building.
§ Mr. WillinkAs already indicated in the White Paper on Training for the Building Industry presented to Parliament in February, 1943, it will be the object of the Government's long-term policy to maintain stability in the building industry, but it is not possible in present circumstances to make plans for a longer period than that indicated in the Paper.
