§ 42. Mr. E. Dunnasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that the bricks being used in the aerodromes in this country are being purchased from manufacturers at home and abroad; and will he see that the orders placed for bricks are located in the counties where the aerodromes are to be built?
§ Sir V. WarrenderAs regards the first part of the question, the use of foreign bricks would be contrary to the contract conditions. If the hon. Member has any information that the conditions are being contravened, I should be grateful if he would inform the Air Ministry. As regards the last part, bricks are provided by the contractors undertaking the construction work, and it is not practicable to insist on their obtaining bricks made in the particular county in which the work is to be carried out.
