§ Major Legge-Bourkeasked the Minister of Health what investigation his Department has made into the possibility of converting sound Nissen huts and others of similar types into suitable domestic accommodation.
§ Mr. KeyNo general investigations have been made into the possibilities of converting various- types of huts into suitable domestic accommodation, but as far as the Nissen hut is concerned, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Taunton (Mr. Collins) on 23rd August. Local authorities have been authorised to take over and convert wartime huts and buildings in appropriate cases and I am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy of a circular which deals with the subject.
