HC Deb 03 March 1947 vol 434 c17W
95. Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Health how many of the temporary, and how many of the permanent, Government-built, or public-authority-built, houses have suffered from burst pipes during the recent cold spell.

Mr. J. Edwards

I regret that the information is not available, but pipes are now laid (in both temporary and permanent houses) to avoid external walls as far as possible and so to obtain the maximum protection against frost.
