asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether he is aware that large quantities of manufactured doors are being imported for use in the construction of working-class houses erected under building schemes and by private persons, and whether he is prepared to inform local authorities and private persons that grants will not be made available in respect of any building in the construction of which imported doors or joinery work are used.
