§ 83. Mr. Whitlockasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will consider means of assisting local authorities who have prematurely to replace temporary aluminium bungalows which have not lasted their expected life.
§ Sir K. JosephI do not think it can fairly be said that these temporary bungalows have not lasted their expected life. They were given a minimum life of ten years and none was supplied after 1949. Houses built to meet the needs of families rehoused from these bungalows attract the same subsidy as houses built for slum clearance and other priority needs.
