HC Deb 10 June 1952 vol 502 c7W
69. Mr. Turner

asked the Minister of Works if he will now consider raising the free limit of £100 for normal maintenance work on building to £150 in view of the increased costs of labour and materials.

Mr. Eccles

The increase in building costs is only one of several factors which are being taken into account in deciding what free limits shall apply from 1st July next.
