HC Deb 18 December 1967 vol 756 c318W
Sir J. Gilmour

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what increases have taken place in the price of imported plywood and board as a result of devaluation; and what effect he estimates this will have on the cost of house building in Scotland.

Mr. Ross:

These materials account for only a small part of the cost of a house, and accordingly any increases in their price as a result of devaluation will have an insignificant effect on house-building costs.
