HC Deb 29 April 1948 vol 450 c76W
73. Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Health whether the authorisation of more housing work at this time is prevented by a shortage of materials or a shortage of manpower.

Mr. Bevan

Authorisation of more housing work is already being given.

74. Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Health what are the essential materials, the shortage of which is causing the holdup of housing estates already under construction.

Mr. Bevan

Houses are now being completed in large numbers but if the hon. Member will let me have particulars of any schemes which are being held up, I will have inquiries made.
