HC Deb 16 December 1947 vol 445 c329W
123. Mr. J. Silverman

asked the Minister of Works what steps he is prepared to take to ensure that large stocks of standard bricks lying idle in Birmingham and West Midland brickyards are utilised.

Mr. Durbin

I cannot ensure that any particular stock of bricks will find a purchaser at the price at which it is offered, but I may point out that stocks in the country generally are at a very low level.
