HC Deb 13 November 1945 vol 415 cc2081-2W
Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Minister of Works if he will give in the case of each accepted type of prefabricated house, exclusive of interior fittings, the estimate of cost at works, cost at delivery at site and the final cost on erection, with a comparison of the differences between these actual costs and the original estimates in each case and to provide the same details for the interior fittings.

Mr. Tomlinson

The difference between the original and the present estimated cost of each type of temporary house is set out in paragraphs 5 and 6 of the White Paper on the Temporary Housing Programme (Cmd. 6686). For the reasons given in my reply to the Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Maid-stone (Mr. Bossom) on 6th November it would not be in accordance with the public interest to publish details for separate items.
