HC Deb 25 March 1958 vol 585 c20W
74. Sir I. Fraser

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what action he is taking to ensure that so far as possible Lake District roofing slates are used in local authority building.

Mr. H. Brooke

It must be for each local authority to choose the materials they will use for their houses. No objection will be taken by my Department to any local authority incurring additional costs by using these slates.
