HC Deb 19 May 1947 vol 437 c211W
101. Mr. Jennings

asked the Minister of Supply how the cost of repairs is agreed in connection with work on housing estates under his control carried out by the Ministry of Works; and where such costs are debited.

Mr. Wilmot

The Ministry of Works is entirely responsible for carrying out these repairs. The cost is not previously agreed between the two Departments, although it is finally borne by the Ministry of Supply.

102. Mr. Jennings

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is satisfied with the method of accounting carried out in relation to housing estates under his control when housing managers are not made aware of the cost of repairs carried out by the Ministry of Works.

Mr. Wilmot

Yes, Sir.
