HC Deb 31 October 1946 vol 428 c137W
93. Mr. Gammans

asked the Minister of Health if, in view of the fact that the loss to the taxpayer on each aluminium house averages £1,160, he will state the number of houses which have been ordered; and what is expected to be the total loss of this programme.

Mr. Bevan

The total number of aluminium houses ordered was 54,500. Assuming a net cost to the Exchequer of £1,160 per house, the total net cost of the programme would be £63,220,000.
