asked the Minister of Health the total direct labour cost in a £1,200 brick-built house; how this cost is divided over the various categories of workmen employed in the construction; and if he will provide similar figures for a pre-war house of the same standard.

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply given to my hon. and gallant Friend, the Member for Bucklow (Lieutenant Shepherd) on 14th November, of which I am sending him a copy.
