§ 24. Mr. HUTCHISONasked the Minister of Health whether there is any shortage of bricklayers or bricks in connection with any of the housing operations now in progress; and, if there be such a shortage, whether any steps are being taken to make it good?
Sir H. YOUNGI am not aware of any general shortage in the supply of bricks. I have received reports of some difficulty in obtaining bricklayers in a few districts. The matter is receiving my consideration in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour.
