§ 44. Mr. Watsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has yet completed his inquiries into the position of the brickworks at Inverkeithing, Fife; whether he is aware that foreign-made bricks are being brought to a housing site within a mile of this brickworks; and if he will expedite the completion of the works so that production may be commenced at an early date.
§ Mr. BuchananI am glad to say that as a result of the satisfactory conclusion of negotiations between the owners of this brickworks and the promoters of the Forth Road Bridge (Draft) Provisional Order, the way is now clear to bring the brickworks into production, and the Ministry of Works are in close touch with the owners to expedite the installation of the necessary machinery and equipment.
