HC Deb 28 October 1947 vol 443 c90W
Mr. Vane

asked the Minister of Works whether he is aware of the delays in necessary repairs and reconstruction of farm buildings caused by the small and irregular deliveries of cement and plaster now being received by local merchants; and what action his Department is taking to ensure larger and more even deliveries.

Mr. Key

There are arrangements in the case of both these materials for giving preference to essential work and any difficulty in obtaining supplies for necessary work upon farm buildings should be reported to my regional materials distribution officers.
