asked the Minister of Health the cost of the 900 or 950 superficial feet house built of brick, both in the London area and outside, of the traditional type; and the superficial area of the temporary house of the aluminium type.

I regret that information is not yet available which would enable me to quote a reliable figure of cost. The floor area of the aluminium temporary house is 662 square feet, including 32 square feet for the outbuilding.

Will my right hon. Friend look further into this matter?

Yes, I certainly will. I am asking for the final costs, but, as my hon. Friend knows, the final costs are not necessarily the same as the tender costs.
