§ 174. Mr. G. Thomasasked the Minister of Works to what extent he has authorised the use of rusticated bricks for factory construction in South Wales; and what is the price to be paid for those bricks compared with that for ordinary bricks.
§ Mr. TomlinsonAlthough the shortage of all types of bricks has made it necessary to restrict their use in factory construction, their use is sometimes necessary for technical reasons or to match existing work, and the type of brick my hon. Friend mentions may have been used in this way. Their price exceeds that of common bricks by amounts varying from 30s. to 80s. per thousand.
