HC Deb 07 May 1924 vol 173 c455W
Mr. G. WHITE

asked the Minister of Health if any inquiry has been made into the possibility of employing any of the plant as resources of the national or private dockyards in the production of light castings or other standardised parts required in house construction?

Mr. WHEATLEY

I am not aware that there has been any special inquiry into the possibility of employing dockyard plant in the production of such materials as fittings for house construction. The hon. Member will appreciate that the plant and labour required for the manufacture of such materials as light castings is of a specialised nature.
