HC Deb 08 October 1946 vol 427 c19W
125. Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Minister of Works if there is an approved list of contractors for the erection of temporary dwellings; what are the terms and conditions for entry to the list; and what is the procedure for the examination of, and decision upon, tenders.

Mr. Tomlinson

Lists are kept of building contractors and tenders for temporary house erection are invited from those who are situated in the locality and are best able to undertake the particular work. Tenders are carefully examined and the lowest tender is normally accepted provided it is in order and not excessive.
