HC Deb 13 November 1951 vol 493 c29W
112. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Minister of Works whether he will reduce the amount of licence-free building work and thereby provide additional labour for the building of new houses.

Mr. Eccles:

No. I do not consider that such a reduction would make any appreciable difference to the building of new houses or would justify the extra work on staff and burden on the public.
