HC Deb 05 December 1946 vol 431 cc138-9W
108. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Works the number of face bricks that have been sent out of South Wales this year and the number of stock bricks that have been received into South Wales from other places during the same period.

Mr. Tomlinson

Precise figures are not available but the number of facing bricks supplied from South Wales to English customers this year would not be much in excess of 1,400,000. I have no information about the transfer of stock bricks to South Wales but at least 309,000 fletton commons and 2,316,000 bricks of Belgian origin have been delivered to South Wales during the period.
