HC Deb 05 March 1919 vol 113 c440W
Sir ARTHUR FELL

asked the President of the Local Government Board what quantity of stock bricks it is anticipated will be turned out this season at the Peterborough brickfields, and at what price will they be sold free on the railway trucks at Peterborough?

Mr. JAMES HOPE

The bricks made in the Peterborough district are known as "flottons," and are not "stock" bricks. It is hoped that 250,000,000 bricks will be made during the current year. I am not in a position to state at what price they will be sold to the public, as the control of selling prices has recently been removed.
