HC Deb 19 June 1950 vol 476 cc82-3W

145. Mr. Ellis Smith

asked the Minister of Health what action he has taken or intends taking in the building industry to speed up the provision of houses and reduce costs.

Mr. Bevan

On the first part of the Question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the Statements made in the course of the Debate on 22nd May last. On the second, I am sending him a copy of Circular 58/50 I have recently addressed to local authorities.
