HC Deb 27 July 1950 vol 478 c113W
93. Brigadier Smyth

asked the Minister of Health what is the limiting factor at the present moment to the building of more houses than is at present envisaged by his Department for the next three years.

Mr. Bevan

The national building resources are limited. The present rate of building new houses represents in the Government's view the maximum resources which can be allocated for the purpose in view of other urgent demands.
