79. Mr. W. Shepherd

asked the Minister of Health how many men were employed on 1st March, or the nearest available date, in the erection of permanent houses in the London area; and if he will state the number employed on 1st March, 1939.

Mr. Bevan

On 8th February, 1946, 6,500 men were employed in the London Region on the erection of permanent houses and 4,300 on the clearance and preparation of sites. I regret that no records are available of the number so employed on 1st March, 1939.
