§ 64. Mr. Dribergasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the recent consultations between representatives of the Treasury and the Ministry of Housing and Local Government and United States officials on the 185W question of the provision of married quarters for United States Service men stationed in the United Kingdom; and what plans are now being made for providing such accommodation without the use of building labour and materials that would otherwise be available for local authority housing.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterThese were preliminary consultations, and no final plans have yet been made. The proposal is that temporary prefabricated buildings should be put up, of a type already available for export. Their erection requires little use of ordinary building labour.
