§ Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Minister of Works what decisions have been arrived at regarding the allocation of materials, particularly sheet cladding materials, for the building of temporary, two-stage and permanent prefabricated houses; and whether any arrangements are being made to import necessary supplies of sheet materials from overseas.
§ Mr. HicksSubject to our needs for operational and other urgent work, the necessary materials are being allocated on high priority for the building programme. Sheeting for cladding is not any more scarce than other building materials needed for the production of prefabricated houses.
