- Summary
- NoS synopsis: BRITAIN’S HOUSING PROBLEMS, AND THE LABOUR GOVERNMENT’S HOUSING PROGRAMME explained. Stresses the present plight of Britain’s homeless, traces the causes, and points the way to solution. The position after World War I is compared with the position in 1946, and Aneurin Bevan is shown with his housing cabinet planning the shape of things to come. The phrase "Where there’s smoke there’s money" is repeatedly uttered as the growth of industry throughout the country is seen. But there is also a warning against "the age of anyhow"; ‘the age of jeryy-building without plan which so often has spoilt the areas thriving on industry’s expansion’.
