HC Deb 23 February 1931 vol 248 c1782W
Mr. SIMON

asked the Minister of Health what is the approximate percentage of the cost of an average municipal house which is spent in labour on the site?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I am advised that 37 per cent. of the building cost may be taken to be approximately the proportion spent in labour on the site. Expenditure on land, roads, sewers and fees has not been taken into account in this calculation.
