§ Sir R. Clarryasked the Minister without Portfolio what steps are beng taken by the Minister of Reconstruction to prepare a comprehensive diagrammatic plan of Great Britain showing proposed road construction, the allocation of housing sites and industrial areas, and any urgent public works which are to be undertaken immediately the requisite civil engineering labour and plant are available; and whether any preliminary arrangements are now in hand for any of these works, particularly as such arrangements would not involve the deflecting of man-power or materials from the war effort.
§ Sir W. JowittWhile I doubt the advantages of preparing such a diagram for Great Britain as a whole, I can assure my hon. Friend that the more practical preliminaries, to which he refers in the second part of his Question, are being taken in hand.
