HC Deb 14 December 1939 vol 355 c1319W
Mr. R. C. Morrison

asked the President of the Board of Trade for what reason permission has been given for ready-made huts in sections to be imported from overseas when there is plant instantly available for this work at home and a large number of woodworkers unemployed?

Mr. Stanley

One licence has been issued for the importation of prefabricated houses. All but two of the houses concerned were urgently required by the Air Ministry.
