§ 81. Mr. Marplesasked the Minister of Health if the cost of the houses completed at 31st January, 1946, could be analysed to show the amounts spent on labour and materials, respectively; and could similar figures for comparable houses built in 1939 also be published.
§ Mr. BevanI regret that it is not possible to state the cost of the completed houses, since very many of them form part of contracts which are still current. There are no figures available to show the costs of building houses in 1939 analysed in the manner desired by the hon. Member.
