asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he can make inter-Departmental arrangements so that materials will be made available to avoid delay in housing where new factories have not yet got their output up to the requirements of his programme of housing, or alternatively, if he can arrange with home factories to undertake supply of requirements on a definite programme stated, guaranteeing them against overproduction.
