HC Deb 04 March 1948 vol 448 c88W
90. Mr. K. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Education what are the main reasons for delay in erecting H.O.R.S.A. huts.

Mr. Tomlinson

The main reasons for delay in erecting H.O.R.S.A. huts are those common to all building work at the present time, namely, shortage of labour (including skilled technical staff for the preliminary work on plans and contracts), and shortage of essential materials and components.
