42. Dr. Bennettasked the Minister of Public Building and Works to what extent research is being carried on into the possibility of expediting the substitution of brick walling by modern prefabricated panels.
§ Mr. C. PannellResearch is being undertaken into new methods of producing prefabricated panels and into the suitability of new materials for their manufacture. My Ministry's project for 2,000 industrialised houses, many of which are to be built in the hon. Member's constituency, gives an indication of how far these techniques have already developed.
