§ Mr. P. Thorneycroftasked the Minister of Works why it was not until September and October, 1946, that he received the necessary drawings and specifications for the 50 temporary houses for the Chapelen-le-Frith Rural District Council, which his Department had agreed in their letter of 14th November, 1945, to provide, seeing that this was a duty accepted by his Department and- deputed to an architect chosen by them.
§ Mr. KeyThis regrettable delay was due to the difficulty experienced by the architect in settling a satisfactory layout and specifications.
