HC Deb 01 July 1941 vol 372 c1219W
Mr. Denville

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works and Buildings whether he will consider giving the planning of new buildings to local architects; and will he take over incomplete buildings where and when it is possible to use them?

Mr. Hicks

In accordance with our policy of making the fullest possible use of building resources, my Noble Friend and I are employing local architects and taking over incomplete buildings whenever appropriate and practicable. We shall continue to do so.
