HC Deb 25 July 1944 vol 402 c608W
Mr. Shephard

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works when the nine pairs of demonstration houses being erected by his Department will be ready for inspection.

Mr. Hicks

These houses had been timed to be available for inspection at the beginning of August, and they were already largely completed. As, however, it has been necessary to remove the labour from this work to deal with urgent war damage repairs, I regret I am unable now to say when the houses will be available for inspection.
