Summary: An optimistic survey of post-war housing requirements in Britain, framed by the scenario of a script writer commissioned by his film company to investigate this topical problem, examines the variety of temporary (ten year "prefabs", prefabricated houses) and more permanent structures (steel-framed and Paragon houses) which the steel and building industry will speedily erect once victory is won. During his research the script writer interviews housing and steel industry experts.
