HC Deb 10 July 1956 vol 556 c11W
26. Mr. Coldrick

asked the Minister of Works how many disused prefabricated houses were sold during June for export abroad; at what price they were sold; what conditions were laid down as to their resale price; and how many will fall to be disposed of in the immediate future.

Mr. Buchan-Hepburn

Last month 14 redundant houses were sold direct to an overseas buyer by my Department. The price, excluding the refrigerator and cost of dismantling, was £120 a house. No re-sale price conditions were imposed. Local authorities have given preliminary notice that a further 600 houses will be available for disposal in the near future.
