HC Deb 13 November 1945 vol 415 c2081W
Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Minister of Health why so few building operatives have been allocated to St. Marylebone for the repair of houses only slightly damaged; and what steps is he proposing to take to increase labour to enable the repair of damaged houses to be expedited.

Mr. Bevan

The allocation of labour to St. Marylebone, as to each local authority in the London Civil Defence Region, was a calculated proportion of the building labour force in London in relation to the amount of war damage repair and other housing work to be carried out in the period up to the end of December.
