HC Deb 18 December 1947 vol 445 c394W
142. Mr. Marples

asked the Minister of Health if, in view of the recent increases in rates of pay of building trades operatives, part of which was linked to output and part of which was not, he proposes to raise the figure of £1,300, or £1,400 in London, which is at present the maximum amount private enterprise is allowed to spend on buying a site and building a house.

Mr. Bevan

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Devizes (Mr. Hollis) on 28th November, of which I am sending him a copy.
