asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works whether he will have a Report made on the steel houses erected after the last war to determine whether they have been satisfactory from all points of view?

The Committee, which was jointly set up by my right hon. Friends the Minister of Health, the Secretary of State for Scotland and Lord Reith, to report on methods of house construction, has fully covered the various types of steel houses erected after the last war, and its report, which I understand is now being drafted, will shortly be presented to my Noble Friend and my right hon. Friends.

Will the Report be published?

I think so.

Will this Committee be working in co-operation with the sub-committee—of which I am a member—of the Ministry of Health which is dealing with exactly the same problem?

I am amazed to find that you have not already consulted with each other.

Are we to understand that other types of building will be covered by the Report?

Yes, Sir.
