HC Deb 27 February 1947 vol 433 c331W
121. Mr. Skeffington-Lodge

asked the Minister of Health what are the arrangements for using local stone in his house-building programme; and to what extent is it being employed.

Mr. Bevan

The initiative lies with local authorities. I encourage the use of stone to harmonise with surroundings provided the cost is not excessive. Plans for 1,313 houses with stone walls have been approved.
