HC Deb 18 November 1946 vol 430 cc16-7W
51. Mr. Vane

asked the Minister of Agriculture what proportion of the new houses for foresters and woodmen to be built for the Forestry Commission will be built of wood.

Mr. T. Williams

It is not possible to say definitely what proportion of the new houses to be built for the Forestry Commission will be of wood, since this will depend on the availability of materials, but of the total of 1,772 houses proposed to be built in the year ending 30th September, 1947, it is so far planned that 100 will be of wooden construction.
