HC Deb 24 October 1939 vol 352 c1234W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is satisfied that, where contracts have been completed for hutments and other buildings for the accommodation of troops, the work has been satisfactorily carried out; what complaints the War Office has received from any of the Commands to the effect that the work has been badly done and does not provide adequate or proper accommodation for the troops; and what steps does he propose to take, in such cases, to recover from the contractor money sufficient to put the buildings in a proper state?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

No complaints of bad workmanship have, as yet, been received from any Command. Naturally, should any complaint of such a character be made at any time, it will be immediately investigated with a view to having the defect made good either by the contractor or at his expense.
