HC Deb 28 April 1947 vol 436 c1515
25. Commander Maitland

asked the Minister of Works what steps he is taking to see that lack of fuel to brickworks does not prevent the manufacture of an adequate supply of tile drains.

Mr. Key

So long as there is a lack of fuel, the output of the clay industry is bound to be less than adequate, but I shall do my best to maintain a proper balance between the different types of production, including land drain tiles.
