§ 122. Mr. Medlicottasked the Minister of Works if he is aware that the production of concrete fence posts needed on council housing schemes in Norfolk is being held up owing to inability of the contractors to obtain supplies of reinforcement iron; and if he will take steps to increase such supplies at an early date.
§ Mr. KeyThe shortage of steel is so acute that I could not increase the amount allowed for reinforcement for concrete fence posts, but if the hon. Member will let me have particulars of the cases he has in mind I will see what help can be given.
