§ 67. Mr. Murrayasked the Minister of Works whether, in view of the great shortage of cement in the Durham, Spenny-moor, and other areas, he will consider ways and means of increasing the supply of cement and seeing that wholesale merchants are unable to meet requirements, and repair work cannot be executed, will he consider the installation of new plant so that production can be increased and orders fully met.
§ Mr. KeyMy Department have actively encouraged the erection of new cement works, and the extension or modernisation of existing works. The first new post-war works should come into operation next Spring.
