§ Mr. WATERSONasked the Prime Minister whether orders for bricks, doors, and windows in the Government's housing scheme have entirely to be of British make; if not, where they are expected to come from; and why there has been need to go beyond our shores for the fulfilment of these contracts; and whether the rate of pay, if such are imported, are favourable to the standard in this country?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYIt is intended that the bricks, doors, windows, etc., ordered by the Ministry of Munitions in connec- 1391W tion with the Government housing programme shall be of British make, though some of the raw material, in the shape of timber, will no doubt have to be imported.
