HC Deb 17 March 1944 vol 398 cc532-3W
Mr. Granville

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works if, instead of purchasing prefabricated houses from America, he will consider taking over the rights of the particular design and putting the production in suitable factories in England.

Mr. Hicks

The Government have not yet reached any decision on the question of purchasing prefabricated houses from overseas. They are fully alive to the desirability of making the maximum use of manufacturing capacity in this country.
