85. Major Lloydasked the Minister of Health why, in areas around London, his 249W regulations state that there is to be 1.9 standards of timber in every house, while the Timber Control will not supply more than 1.7.
§ Mr. BevanCircular 205, issued in November, 1945, of which I am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy, informed local authorities that the maximum amounts of timber which could be allowed for each new house was two standards of softwood with further provision of plywood and hardwood. I am not aware that there is now any difficulty on this question, but if the hon. and gallant Member has a case in mind, I will be glad to look into it if he will let me have particulars.
