§ 38. Mr. Spriggsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether the increased cost of house building referred to in paragraphs 73 and 74 of Command Paper No. 2050 will be controlled after he has brought into operation Her Majesty's Government's Housing subsidy policy.
§ Mr. CorfieldThe increased costs referred to are for building to higher standards. The right way to achieve these standards at rents that people can afford is not by introducing price controls but by increasing the productivity of the building industry.
