HC Deb 03 July 1951 vol 489 c199W
37. Mr. Driberg

asked the Minister of Works if, in view of the Government policy on capital investment, involving local interference with house-building programmes on account of the priority deemed necessary for defence works, and since defence is a national rather than a local responsibility, he will consider reinstituting some form of mobile building force for defence works.

Mr. G. Brown

On present indications I do not think this would be justified.
