HC Deb 27 October 1949 vol 468 c187W
99. Brigadier Thorp

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that building operatives are leaving housing prejects near Amble, Northumberland, to take over bricklaying work in the mines; and how this will affect the building programme in that area.

Mr. Bevan

Yes, but it is not possible to estimate precisely what effect this will have on the housing programme in the area.
