HC Deb 19 October 1950 vol 478 c265W
73. Mr. Pickthorn

asked the Minister of Health what he has done and is doing towards increased allocation of houses to districts where workers in large proportion are engaged in dollar-earning industries.

Mr. Bevan

In consultation with my right hon. Friends the Minister of Labour and National Service, the Minister of Supply and the President of the Board of Trade, I have selected certain districts in which there are important dollar-earning industries and I have arranged for additional numbers of houses to be allocated for building in them where practicable. I am not yet in a position to give details of these arrangements.
