HC Deb 24 September 1943 vol 392 c558W
Mr. Jackson

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works whether he is aware that a pair of prefabricated cottages are being erected in the urban area of Brecon; and whether it is the new policy of the Ministry to erect such dwellings in districts of this kind?

Mr. Hicks

The cottages referred to are part of a programme, undertaken at the request of the Ministry of Agriculture, for the erection of 100 prefabricated married quarters for key agricultural workers employed by county war agricultural executive committees. The sites were selected by the war agricultural executive committees. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture does not propose that quarters of this type should in future be erected in urban areas.
