HC Deb 22 April 1948 vol 449 c166W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Health, in order to restore the balance in the traditional industry by transferring timber supplies thereto, if he will withdraw approvals for all non-traditional houses not yet started and issue licences to private enterprise for brick houses to replace.

Mr. Bevan

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave him on 8th April.

Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Health if he has now considered the statistics which have been sent to him concerning the building programme for nontraditional houses; and if he has any statement to make.

Mr. Bevan

Yes; no.
