HC Deb 29 April 1948 vol 450 c77W
76. Mr. Bartlett

asked the Minister of Health to what extent he proposes to terminate contracts for the manufacture of Airey houses on grounds of economy, and whether he will negotiate with those factories which claim that they can afford to produce these houses without a subsidy.

Mr. Bevan

I will consider any proposals on this subject which are submitted to me. But the future of all non-traditional systems is now dependent on their ability to compete in cost with traditional construction.
