asked the Minister of Works if he is aware that the electric fittings for 10 newly-occupied houses at Ham., Somerset, to which his attention has already been drawn, are still undelivered; that no electric fittings are obtainable for 10 completed houses at Milverton, Somerset; and if he will take steps to arrange immediate delivery and explain, in view of the increased production of electric components, the reason for these delays.

Yes, Sir. I have hastened the delivery of all the items brought to my notice and they have now been despatched, with the exception of three items, on which special hastening action is being taken, and I am writing in detail to my hon. Friend. Production is now generally sufficient for priority work.
