HC Deb 24 April 1939 vol 346 c787
66. Captain Ramsay

asked the Secretary of State for War the total number of bricks used in Scotland by his Department during the past 12 months on new buildings and extensions; and how many of these were obtained in Scotland?

Sir V. Warrender

I regret that the required information is not readily available, and could not be obtained without a disproportionate expenditure of time and labour.

Captain Ramsay

Can my hon. Friend look into the matter with a view to seeing that Scottish bricks shall be used in Scotland unless there is very good reason why they should not?

Sir V. Warrender indicated assent.

Mr. Alexander

Could not we have a regulation to stop Scottish bricks from being used in England?
