asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what is the current delivery period of plasterboard.

Mr. Boyden

Plasterboard is available for immediate delivery.

Mr. Urwin

Although this Answer will be very widely applauded and accepted in the construction industry, what are the contributory factors leading to this situation, bearing in mind the difficulties which we had during 1964 and 1965?

Mr. Boyden

Tardy investment in new capacity.
