Brigadier Clarke
asked the Minister of Health if he will allow houses costing under £2,000 to be built without restriction.
Mr. Bevan
No, Sir.
Brigadier Clarke
Does the Minister not realise that unless he makes some concessions we shall never get the bomb-damaged towns rebuilt as long as we have a Labour Government?
Mr. Bevan
If this concession were made it would be at the expense of persons needing houses and favouring those with money to buy them.
Brigadier Clarke
It would be no such thing in Portsmouth. It would be in lieu of garages and greenhouses and other things which are not necessary.
