HC Deb 18 July 1967 vol 750 c209W
55. Mr. Spriggs

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will send a circular to local authorities advising them to use bonus schemes for high quality material and workmanship as a means of stopping jerry-building in housing schemes.

Mr. Mellish

My right hon. Friend does not consider that bonus schemes ought to be used to get materials and workmanship of the quality required. The right way is to specify the requirements in the tender and contract documents and then, by adequate supervision, to make sure that the specification is adhered to.
