HC Deb 01 July 1931 vol 254 c1264
25. Mr. DAY

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has any records and can state the names of the county or other local authorities that have utilised foreign broken stone in their works during the previous two years?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I have not sufficient information to enable me to give a list of the county or other local authorities that have utilised foreign road stone during the previous two years.

Mr. DAY

Is the county of Devon one of those that have used foreign broken stone in some of their public works?

Mr. MORRISON

I cannot say.

Sir W. BRASS

Has the Minister any power to insist that British stone should be used?

Mr. MORRISON

No, not to insist.
